Hello Huntsville!
Welcome to another edition of ‘This Week in Huntsville’!
The 4th of July is here, and Huntsville is ready to celebrate! From fireworks and parades to live entertainment and community gatherings, our 4th of July Events Guide highlights everything happening in and around town. Make your holiday memorable with all the local fun.
As families make summer plans, many are turning to Vacation Bible School. Our VBS Directory includes several exciting and meaningful options hosted by local churches, perfect for children looking to grow in faith while enjoying games, crafts, and music.
New businesses are opening their doors, bringing fresh energy to the local economy. The Emporium offers a unique marketplace experience for shoppers looking for handmade goods and local treasures, while DG Market is now open with expanded grocery options. And coming soon to the culinary scene: El Pescador Seafood and Tacos, promising bold flavors and fresh seafood.
In this week’s Legal Corner, Sam A. Moak reminds readers to “Keep It Simple, Financially Speaking”. His advice is straightforward and practical—especially helpful for anyone reviewing their finances or planning for the future.
Our local sports scene is also heating up. AOA Lions Football will receive full broadcast coverage on SHN Sports this season, bringing even more visibility to the team and giving fans near and far a chance to cheer them on.
And as summer temperatures soar, Kaye’s Wednesday Wisdom brings an important message: simple daily habits can prevent hot car tragedies. Her heartfelt advice serves as a timely reminder to protect the most vulnerable among us.
Bill Daugette has officially taken the helm as president of the Huntsville Rotary Club, stepping into the role with energy, gratitude, and a deep commitment to service. During the recent installation event, he reflected on the club’s 102-year legacy and emphasized continuing its impact through youth support, scholarship funding, and community outreach. With a heartfelt tribute to outgoing president Michelle Spencer and a vision for growth, Daugette pledged to build on the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self” and lead with purpose in the year ahead
From community updates to legal insights and local sports, there’s always something happening in Huntsville. Stay connected and make the most of your week.
Don’t forget to check out all that is happening this weekend under our events section! All this and much more in this week's edition of This Week in Huntsville!
