Bike MS is a 2-day cycling event that raises funds to support people living with multiple sclerosis in eastern North Carolina and throughout the United States. Money raised through this event funds MS research, programs, services, and advocacy. In 2011, over 2,600 participants raised $1,677,423 to create a world free of MS. This year, our goal is to raise $1.7 million!

Bike MS cyclists enjoy two full days of riding through rural eastern North Carolina. Each day, cyclists can choose to ride 30, 50, 75 or 100 miles on fully-supported routes. At the conclusion of each day's ride, cyclists are greeted by cheerful volunteers, a delicious, hot meal, ice cold beverages, and live entertainment. It's a great time, you should join us!

What started many years ago as a little red house on the corner taking maybe 100 pictures on a polaroid camera has become a destination in Eastern North Carolina during the Christmas season. In 2017, Santa received more than 400 letters & his helpers took over 3,000 photos with people from near and far. A new record for snowfall was set as well with snow falling over Santa's house over a 4 week period for approximately 35 hours.
