OUR STORY
Kristy’s Trail Ride and Crawfish Boil was started to raise funds for children’s hospitals. We are located in the Martinville, Mississippi area in the NE corner of Simpson County. Our trail ride event is held on Memorial Day Weekend each year.
We have the ride in memory of Kristy Lynn Davis, March 21, 1984 to March 27, 1994, and her family. She was a patient at Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital.
We donate 100% of the proceeds to the Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. It is Mississippi’s only children’s hospital in the state.
We would like to invite everyone interested in trail riding, fishing, camping or just wanting to have a good time to come and help raise money for the best cause: To help make sick children better.
100% of all proceeds go to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital

Few bands have carved as distinctive a niche in the heart of Mississippi music fans as BACKROADS from Bay Springs, Mississippi. With their unusual combination of musical talent, high-energy, and versatility, they continue to draw large crowds wherever they go. New Country, Old Country, Gospel, Rock-you name it, they can probably play it. Band leader Stacy Blackwell, pictured on far left, said recently in an interview, "I never would have dreamed when we first got together that 20 plus years later we would still be in demand quite like we are. We still put on an exciting, energetic show and we can get as wild as we always have, just not as often!" Longevity, late nights, hard work, and a willingness to try anything are all part of the mix, but if there is a formula, not even BACKROADS can tell you what brings it all together, what makes it all work. But as evidenced in their live show, something is definitely working.
