GOOD AFTERNOON, GAUTIER & JACKSON COUNTY! LET'S KEEP CRUISIN' THE COAST!

What a difference a day makes! I hope everyone is safe following Hurricane Isaias. Please keep those impacted by the storm in your thoughts and prayers.

Now, let's enjoy some classic cars, good food, and Mississippi Gulf Coast hospitality!

**CRUISIN' THE COAST CONTINUES TODAY!**

I encourage everyone to visit our two Jackson County stops today and show some love to all FOUR of our wonderful communities!

**OCEAN SPRINGS** – Enjoy the classic cars, beautiful downtown, unique shops, and restaurants!

**GAUTIER** – Although our festivities were Monday, we're still welcoming cruisers and visitors!

**STOP & SNAP A PHOTO!** Visit our beautiful Gautier roundabout fountain on Dolphin Drive, just north of Highway 90. Find a safe, legal place to park and capture a memory with the fountain in the background!

**PASCAGOULA** – Enjoy the Cruisin' festivities, waterfront charm, local restaurants, and hometown hospitality!

**MOSS POINT** – Their Cruisin' celebration was Tuesday, but the community continues welcoming visitors!

FOUR CITIES. ONE COUNTY. ONE AMAZING COAST!

EXPLORE. EAT. SHOP. FUEL UP. SUPPORT LOCAL!

While you're out Cruisin', stop by our local restaurants, shops, and gas stations, especially here in Gautier!

After all, those beautiful classic cars don't run on compliments and good looks alone! They need a little fuel, too!

Every stop helps support our local businesses and families!

Today, we remember blues legend and Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Hall of Fame inductee B.B. King on what would have been his 101st birthday.

Born in Itta Bena, Mississippi, King's name is synonymous with the blues. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he helped introduce generations of listeners to the genre and inspired countless musicians along the way.

A 15-time Grammy Award winner, King was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. That same year, he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Visit The MAX to explore the story of B.B. King, along with other arts and entertainment legends who trace their roots to Mississippi.
