The Mid South Motorcycle Festival was a huge success!! We had a great time in Dyersburg. The rally was headquartered in Caruthersville, Mo. at the Casino Aztar on the Mississippi River. Friday night there was a dinner for those just arriving and an auction with donated items to benefit the Shriners organization. There was a great concert put on by the Kentucky Headhunters Friday night and several Boss Hoss dealers were there in the courtyard showing bikes and answering our questions. There were threats of rain all weekend but for the most part it held off and the riding was great. Boss Hoss factory in Dyersburg had an open house on Saturday and Sunday with demo rides and factory tours. I was really impressed with how well organized they were. The factory tour was amazing. They had shut down the entire plant. The whole place was spotless and they really took their time answering questions and showing the manufacturing process to those attending. I had been to Dyersburg several times in the past but was on the tour with some that had never been and they really enjoyed seeing all of it. Saturday there was a parade to downtown Dyersburg and bike show, then a dice run through some really nice areas east of Dyersburg and through the cotton fields. When we returned to the casino after the dice run we were allowed to park our bikes in the convention center beside the casino. Sunday morning we returned to the factory in preparation for the poker run. I really liked the ride south of Dyersburg through some really beautiful and green country. A big thanks to all who worked so hard to give us this event. I dont know when Dyersburg will be the site of another event but we felt it did have a lot to offer and look forward to returning there again soon. :biker3:
