Mary - I didn't even include everything, but we do have fun events!  When it snows here, everyone is stuck at home and the grocery stores sell out of milk and bread the day before the snow!

Comments

Renee I like you list of weekly events in Birmingham.  Please keep it up. 

Comments

Yes, what a good idea Renee, in one concise post to have the main events for your local area!!! I am going to bookmark your post as another GOOD idea to try to apply to my own local area...Just wondering where do you get all the info?

Comments

Charita - Thanks!  I realized after I did the post that I left out Alabama's Got Talent at the Virginia Samford Theatre Fri & Sat. night & Sunday afternoon.

Cathy - Thanks.  I do some internet searches to get the info.

Sounds like you folks have a lot going on and more to come. We are getting ready for Mardi Gra, I am suprised that more cities don't have Mardi Gra. It is such a fun filled event. HAve fun out there and stay warm.
