It was reminiscent of
a street party at the Ardmore Alabama Welcome Center on
Thursday, May 19th, actually it was Alabama Tourism Day!
Some of those in
attendance were dressed in Civil War and Revolutionary time
attire to commemorate the 150th year of the Civil War. The
volunteers and business owners/managers gave out free Pepsi
products, Blue Belle ice cream and goat cheese. Tasty Pig
was handing out coupons for Lawler's Bar B Q and Chick Fil A
Cow was handing out coupons too... and dancing!
The seniors from the
Madison AL. Senior Center entertained the guests with music
and line dancing.
The Space and Rocket
Center had information on their new exhibit this summer,
Sue! Sue is the largest, most complete, and best preserved
Tyrannosaurus-Rex fossil yet discovered. Space Camp was also
available with t-shirts and information on this year's camp.
Everyone who stopped was surprised and seemed glad to see
us. Some of the visitors who came up on the festivities
said, "Do you all do this everyday?" Yes, everyday in
Alabama is a party!!
