Area children cruise the community with Sesame Street’s ‘Gordon’

IMG_8350 Sesame Street’s “Gordon” joined dozens of area children for “Cruising the Community,” Saturday, Aug. 24. The event, sponsored by Jackson State University’s Center for University-Based Development and Voice of Calvary Ministries, included a children’s 1.2-mile bike ride around JSU’s main campus as part of the church’s “On the Road to Health” initiative.

In addition to the health screenings, helmets and food, the participants enjoyed listening to “Gordon,” whose real name is Roscoe Orman, read from his children’s book “Ricky and Mobo.”
