ROCKABILLY RUN PROMOTES COUNTY - Thomas Smith of Hoxie reads a historical marker at Powhatan Historic State Park during the Rockabilly Run held Saturday to promote Lawrence County tourism. In the background is Jim Matha of Jonesboro, who also participated in the ride, which organizers hope will become an annual event.

The poker run and mini-festival drew quite a bit of attention to the county, as 70 bikes and 100 riders registered for the event, which Nicole McLaughlin with Rumblin' Around the Ridge said was a great turnout for a first-time event.
"We want to thank all of our riders and sponsors for their support and for making this an amazing event," she said.
Charles Snapp, a member of the Lawrence County Tourism Committee, said everything about the event, including the stops along the poker run, was designed to promote Lawrence County.
