Q: Dear Mr. Sunn, keeping in line with this state’s “Let’s Go Walking – Mississippi” campaign; does Gov. Barbour have plans to walk or run in the first Mississippi Blues Marathon Jan. 5?

A: Gov. Haley Barbour hopes too, said his deputy press secretary Rebekah Staples. He’s working through some scheduling details now, she said via e-mail. The Mississippi Blues Marathon is Jan. 5 in downtown Jackson, in the Fondren district and is sponsored by Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, the promoters behind the Let’s Go Walkin’ campaign.
