As the state’s largest event, Cruisin’ the Coast means big bucks for Mississippi – Mississippi Today

Sites & Bites: Don’t forget the ‘Rez’ when looking for summer fun, delicious food
By Kara Kimbrough for the Dispatch Here’s a suggestion: Don’t just drive through the Capitol City and adjacent counties in search of beaches, mountains and attractions in other states.

To work up an appetite, first visit Lakeshore Park, located on the southeastern shore…
