Happy Friday!

It’s hard to believe that July has come and gone and that school is back in session (at least for everyone in Huntsville and Madison City Schools).

We’ve got a jam-packed newsletter this week, so I won’t spend too much time on the intro.

Let’s get to it!

THIS EMAIL IS PRESENTED BY AROUND THE CURTAIN CHILDREN’S THEATRE

Does your child dream of making it to Broadway?

Around the Curtain Children’s Theatre’s Fall registration is officially open, and they have loads of classes and workshops!

If your child is interested in theatre, singing, or art, this is the perfect thing for them!

They’ve got classes for Acting 101, Show Choir, Theatre Tech, and so much more!

Classes start on August 26, and spots are filling up fast! Be sure to register today to reserve your spot!

Blast Off

Huntsville Restaurant Week Preview

Huntsville’s Restaurant Week is just around the corner! From August 9 to 18, the community is invited to celebrate local restaurants by taking advantage of discounts and special offers!

You’ll also want to download the Rocket City Dish Pass, which is a new mobile-friendly tool to help you keep up with all the promotions and events.

There are TONS of specials and discounts available throughout restaurant week. Far too many to list here. But I will highlight three that I am excited about!

  • Taco Mama is offering half-off loaded queso all-day

  • Commerce Kitchen is offering a special $25 lunch menu and a $45 dinner menu

  • Pizzelle’s Confections is offering a dessert parfait and a handmade soda for $10

You can find the full list of discounts, offers, and events here. I hope everyone will get out at least once and support their favorite local restaurant!

Zillow Explorer

I love this house because of its location at The Ledges! It is far out of my price range, but if anyone buys it, please invite me over for a movie night in the home theatre!

Who’s buying this and hosting movie night?
