What a BUSY Weekend in Montgomery!

(Information from Visit Montgomery website)

Fourth Annual Stuff the Truck Food Drive
Sat., Aug. 25, 2018, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

You know I like to sprinkle these lists with the “feel good” stuff, but this event was just too easy to include. All you need to do is donate non-perishable food items to the truck parked in front of Winn Dixie (how easy is that) and the good people running it will donate all proceeds to the Montgomery Public Schools Backpack Program.

(Come by and meet some of your Alabama News Network friends!)

Montgomery Dragon Boat Race and Festival
Sat., Aug. 25, 2018, 8:00AM – 4:00PM

The Montgomery Dragon Boat Race and Festival returns for its ninth year on the Alabama River. The free event is open for anyone to spectate as massive canoe-like boats race each other for the good of fundraising.
