Happy Friday!

I hope everyone enjoyed their short work week! The weather has been amazing this week, so if you haven’t gotten a chance to get outside yet, I hope you’ll get a chance this weekend!

September is officially underway, and we’ve got another great giveaway lined up for our Premium Explorers. I’ll be sharing more about that soon, but in the meantime, be sure to join if you haven’t already.

It’s an easy way to support Huntsville Explorer and help me keep the lights on!

Alrighty, let’s get to it!

Huntsville Ghost Walk Is Back For Another Spooky Season

To kick off the fall season, Huntsville Ghost Walk is back for another round of spooky stories from Huntsville’s haunted past.

If you’ve never been on one, a local guide will take you on a 90-minute walking tour through Downtown Huntsville and tell spooky stories of Huntsville’s past.

There are tours every Friday and Saturday in September and every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in October. Tickets are $13 for adults and $8 for kids 12 and under.

This year, there are three different ghost walks available: Twickenham Ghost Walk, Old Town Ghost Walk, and Downtown Ghost Walk. You can find more about each walk on the Huntsville Ghost Walk website.

All tours will begin at Harrison Brothers in Downtown Huntsville at 6 PM.

Warby Parker Store Opening at Bridge Street on September 14

If you need glasses, Bridge Street’s new Warby Parker store has you covered! One great thing about Warby Parker is that they donate a pair to someone in need for every pair of glasses sold! The new store is set to open on September 14.
