STURGIS, Miss. (WCBI) – Every year in Sturgis, South Dakota, the Sturgis motorcycle rally draws thousands.
But here in our part of the country, we have our own little Sturgis that puts on a rally of its’ own.

It gives the small town a big economic boost every year.
The rally also hosts a benefit ride for a good cause.
This year’s is benefiting the Alzheimer’s Association.
The Mayor of Sturgis, Jerry Bean, said it’s wonderful to see so many people come together around a common interest.
“We’re glad that they want to come in and have a good time, camp out, see people that they haven’t seen before,” Mayor Bean said. “We have families and friends that meet here every year. It’s like a reunion for them every year.”
The Little Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will continue through Saturday, the 16th, and will end Sunday with a Blessing of the Bikes.
