Each year, thousands of motorcyclists come through Blount County.
Many of them are headed to the Tail of the Dragon, a famous but dangerous motorcylce road that has 318 curves in 11 miles.
CHARM wants to serve these men and women by setting up roadside stops and giving away refreshments and gifts.
The first of these ministries is planned for September. A group of Christian motorcyclists, called Faith Riders, from Hermitage Hills Baptist Church near Nashville, will be helping with this.
We're looking for Christian motorcyclists, especially from Chilhowee Baptist Association churches, to participate in September with a view to carrying this ministry forward in the future.
If you want to get involved, or want more information, contact Joe Ledford by writing joe(at)chilhoweeba.org
The state HOG Rally was held in Maryville and Townsend in June 2008.
Six Mile Baptist Church held a free pancake breakfast for bikers on their way to ride The Dragon.
Faith Riders set up a vendor booth at the rally and gave away gifts.
