Grab your paddle and be part of the North Alabama Zoological Society's (NALZS) first-ever Pickleball Tournament at Big Spring Memorial Park in Athens, AL, known as The Duck Pond, on Saturday, April 6th, with a rain date of Sunday, April 7th. Whether you're in it to compete seriously or just to enjoy some fun time with friends, your participation supports a noble cause. The tournament aims to raise funds for NALZS's mission, which includes promoting STEAM education related to nature, establishing a zoo in North Alabama, enhancing connections between people and animals, and supporting conservation efforts.

Visiting Peppered Pig

Whether heading to a Havoc game with your friends, fueling up for a long walk about Lowe Mill, or just having dinner for two with your special someone, you never want to skimp on quality. But quality doesn’t have to be a fine dining experience. In my opinion, there are fewer things better than a classic burger to get you through a fun evening, and the Peppered Pig delivers. 

Color Me Mine

Color Me Mine is a relatively new addition to the Huntsville area. It is a pottery painting experience, much like some of the others you can find in other cities, but there are also some minor differences. 

When we arrived, we were greeted by an employee, who let us know which table would be ours, and invited us to take a look around at all the ceramic sculptures we could paint. They had plenty of options - there were more plain options like blank plates, bowls, and mugs, and there were small sculptures.
