The related motorcycle rally “Bikers Rule 4 School” will be 10 a.m. July 21 at the Broadway Square Mall parking lot near the On the Border restaurant. The last two years about 500 motorcycles traveled throughout Smith County to call attention to the need that children have for school supplies, Becky Duncan, community outreach coordinator, said in an email.
