📚💕 DOLLY SHOULD 9 TO 5K 💕📚

This one means a little more this year.

For the past several years, we’ve gathered to run a few miles, celebrate our amazing Dolly, and support something she believed in deeply — putting books into the hands of children.

This year, we’ll run in her memory. 🦋✨

Join us January 9th at 9:00 AM with our friends at The Mockingbird Cafe for the annual Dolly Should 9 to 5K!

As always, this run is completely FREE. All we ask is that you bring a new children’s book or monetary donation benefiting the Hancock County Library Foundation, which supports Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library right here in our community. 📚💗

And OF COURSE, we’ll honor Dolly the way we always do:

✨ Costumes HIGHLY encouraged
💎 Rhinestones, fringe & big hair welcomed
🥂 Mimosas at the finish
📚 Books for local kids
💕 A whole lot of Dolly love

🏃‍♀️ Run it. Walk it. Dolly it.

📅 January 9
⏰ 9:00 AM
📍 The Mockingbird Cafe

Come raise a book, a mimosa, and a little hell in honor of a woman who gave the world so much. 🥂🦋💕

Leanne and Mandy couldn’t make the run today but Blake helped keep the pacing and Joel was there to handle social media.

🌊 Let’s show some love for Swim Across the Bay! 🌊

The 2026 Swim Across the Bay is coming up Sunday, September 13 at 7:30 AM, and their team is looking for a few more volunteers to help make the morning a success! 🏊‍♀️💙

Volunteers are especially needed for kayak and paddleboard support, and volunteers with their own equipment are encouraged. All volunteers receive a race shirt, plus breakfast and drinks after the race.

If you’re available and would like to support another great Bay St. Louis event, please consider lending a hand!

The 2026 Swim Across the Bay is on Sunday September 13, 2026.

🏁🇬🇧 WE NEED YOUR HELP, BSL! 🇬🇧🏁

We’re already dreaming up the next Bay St. Louis Classic… and we have TWO very different ideas competing for the starting line. 👀

So naturally, we’re letting YOU weigh in.

🏁 START YOUR ENGINES
Think race day meets RACE DAY — checkered flags, fast cars, pit crew energy and all things motorsports. 🏎️💨

OR…

🇬🇧 LONDON CALLING
The BSL Classic falls on the SAME DAY as the London Marathon, so what if we brought a little London to Bay St. Louis? 🇬🇧

Think Union Jacks, iconic London vibes and our own little celebration across the pond. ☕️👑

👇 VOTE IN THE COMMENTS:

🏁 = START YOUR ENGINES
🇬🇧 = LONDON CALLING

Which one would make you want to show up on race morning?!

And before anyone asks… no, “both” is not an option. 😂

The 15th Annual Bay St. Louis Turkey Trot is coming Thanksgiving morning!

🏃 5K — 8:00 AM
🦃 1-Mile Fun Run — 9:00 AM
🏆 Awards — 9:30 AM

Last year more than 1,100 runners joined us.

This year?

👀 We’re getting ready for something even bigger.

Register early, grab your crew and make the Turkey Trot part of your family’s Thanksgiving tradition.
