BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - It was a celebration of things that float at the South Mississippi Boat Show at Point Cadet Plaza. But more than that, it was a celebration of freedom, after Gov. Tate Reeves lifted state-mandated COVID protocols on Friday.
“I drove over from Pascagoula to see this,” Chris Langston said. “And I think that we’re out here enjoying this that we haven’t been able to do for the past year.”
