⛳ Downtown Open
Putt your way through Downtown Huntsville with a free 18-hole mini golf course, plus a new place to get burgers and beignets!
Happy Tuesday!
I hope that everyone had a great Easter weekend!
Before we get into things, I wanted to give a quick update on our Adventure Cards.
The feedback from the poll was overwhelmingly positive, and I was able to find an amazing sponsor that you’re going to love. Since I found a sponsor, the Adventure Cards will be free!
But, I am only going to be able to print 250 of them, and they’ll be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. I’m planning to launch them in early May, so be on the lookout for them.
Alrighty, let’s get to it!
