Blast Off

🚿 Huntsville NonProfit Helping Hurricane Victims

ShowerUp Huntsville made its way to North Carolina this week to offer free showers and laundry to those in need following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because ShowerUp typically offers free showers and laundry to Huntsville’s homeless population.

“We never planned to do disaster relief," Chief Operating Officer Taylor Reed told WAFF. “But we got an unprecedented amount of phone calls, emails, and text messages from people within the community just asking for help.”

Reed said that they’ve used donations from Huntsville residents to purchase tankers of water to make sure everyone who needs help can get it.

We are donating $100 to ShowerUp and would like to encourage you to do the same. You can make a donation here.

Taking Flight

🚀 Downtown Huntsville Guided Walking Tour

City Preservation Planner Katie Stamps will lead a free walking tour of Downtown Huntsville on Thursday at 6 PM. The tour will teach you about local history and notable citizens.

If you plan to go, you’ll need to meet at the First National Bank (216 West Side Square) at 6 PM and be prepared to walk for around 90 minutes.

More info about the walking tour can be found here.

🥃 Big Whiskey’s Now Open

The new Big Whiskey’s in Madison celebrated its grand opening last weekend. It’s located in the old Shrimp Basket restaurant for those familiar with the area.

They serve classic American food, along with 117 different whiskeys! There’s also a large outdoor patio area with artificial turf and yard games that make for a great spot to hang out with friends or family.

Be sure to stop by next time you’re nearby (7814 Hwy 72 Madison, AL 35758). You can check out the menu here.

🎄 Galaxy of Lights Tickets on Sale Now

The Botanical Garden’s Galaxy of Lights will kick off on November 15 and go through December 31.

If you’ve never been, there are millions of lights throughout the display, 170 wireframe scenes, a 30-foot-tall castle, and more. Most people prefer to drive, but there are nights when you can walk through the display and some nights when you can bring your dog!
