Happy Friday!

Mother’s Day is creeping around the corner. If you haven’t gotten a gift yet, it’s now or never!

Regardless, please take some time to thank your mom, or mother-like figure, in your life for all they’ve done for you!

Let’s get to it!

👨‍🚀 Blast Off

🍔 Huntsville’s Biggest Food Event Coming This Summer

After months of planning it brings me great joy to announce the first ever Huntsville Food Fest!

We’ve invited over 25 of our favorite local restaurants, food trucks, and vendors for a massive celebration of Huntsville’s best bites, flavors, and community.

Here’s how it works: One ticket = unlimited bites. We’re keeping it simple, grab a ticket, grab a plate, and start eating. Once you get inside, you wallet stays in your pocket.

We’ve already announced 15 amazing vendors, like Good Company Cafe, Char, and Barracuda Tacos, and have more announcements coming soon.

In honor of the announcement, we’ve got 100 early bird tickets available, which will save you $10. But once they’re gone, they’re gone.

A very limited number of VIP tickets are also available, which will allow early entry so you can beat the lines and crowds!

All the fun will be taking place on August 1 at Stovehouse’s The Royal from 11 AM-2 PM.
