🚀 Taking Flight
☕️ A New Coffee Shop
From service station to serving up morning favorites, a charming new coffee spot is officially open for business in Lacey’s Spring.
The Station Co. is part coffee shop, part farmers market, and part gift boutique. Guests can enjoy organic coffee and espresso drinks made with house-crafted syrups, as well as pastries baked with organic, in-house milled flour blends. You’ll also find ice cream, milkshakes, and a growing menu of clean, all-natural offerings.
Beyond the café, shelves are stocked with organic grains, health and home goods, and thoughtful gifts. Whether you’re grabbing a latte, shopping for farm-fresh ingredients, or just enjoying the relaxed patio vibe, it’s definitely worth the short drive across the river.
❤️ Downtown Rescue Mission Needs Your Help
Right now, the shelves at the Downtown Rescue Mission are nearly bare, and they need your help. With a record-breaking number of meals served in 2024, the demand for food and support has outpaced supply, and the Mission is calling on the Huntsville community to step up.
You can make a real difference today by donating non-perishable items like canned meats, pasta, cereal, peanut butter, boxed meals, and more. You can drop off donations any day of the week at the Mission’s location on Evangel Drive.
This isn’t just about stocking shelves, it’s about making sure your neighbors have a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, and a second chance. If you’ve ever wondered how to help, now’s your chance.
🎸 Rock the Dock Returns to Guntersville
A Lake Guntersville Summer tradition is back and looks to be better than ever! Rock the Dock 2025 hits City Harbor on July 26 with a full night of live music, food, and waterfront fun.
This year’s headliner is Matt Stell, a Nashville-based country artist known for his powerhouse vocals and chart-topping success. He’ll be joined by Noah Thompson, American Idol Season 20 winner and rising star in the country music scene.
The event is free to attend and perfect for the whole family. Just bring a chair, grab a bite from a food truck, and enjoy the show.

THIS EMAIL IS PRESENTED BY FLOWER CHILD MAYSVILLE
🍦 A Sweet Summer Night
Flower Child Maysville is hosting its second-annual Ice Cream Social on Thursday, June 27, from 6 to 8 PM. Bring your favorite frozen treat (homemade or store-bought), a lawn chair, and your favorite people.
