🎇 Celebrate Madison

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone has had a great week!

Thanks to everyone who reached out with kind words last week about our baby! My wife hasn’t had the baby yet, but we are expecting him to be here any day now!

We’ve got a lot to cover today, so let’s get to it!

🎇 Celebrate Madison 2025

Get ready to celebrate everything that makes Madison shine! You’re invited to Toyota Field this Thursday for a free, family-friendly night filled with food, fun, and community pride.

From 6 to 8:30 PM, enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, as well as the Mayor’s State of the City Address. The first 500 guests will snag free hot dogs and sodas, and the first 500 kids will get canvas Halloween bags!

With a business showcase, kid-friendly fun local vendors, and a spectacular firework finale, this is your night to celebrate Madison and all the people who make it such a great place to call home! More details here.

🤡 The Venardos Circus Comes to Huntsville

The Venardos Circus is setting up its red-and-white tent in MidCity for a full week of amazement. Starting this Thursday, you’ll be able to enjoy Broadway-style flair and celebrate a classic American tradition.

This is your chance to experience world-class acrobats, jugglers, and performers, all without a single animal act. Doors open an hour before showtime, giving you time to grab popcorn, cotton candy, and that all-important circus selfie before the 90-minute show begins! Grab your tickets here.

🏒 The Havoc Hit the Ice This Friday

It’s time to grab your jerseys, rally your friends, and make your way to the VBC. The Huntsville Havoc are hitting the ice once again, kicking off the 2025 season this week!

Their home-opener is happening Friday night, with the puck drop set for 7 PM. You’ll be able to see them face off against Pensacola in what’s sure to be an electric night of hockey action.

If last season taught us anything it’s that you shouldn't wait to get your tickets because they sell out fast! Snag your tickets and see the upcoming schedule here.
