Happy Tuesday!

Itā€™s Election Day, and I hope all 7,283 7,429 of you have a chance to swing by the polls and cast your vote!

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only 23 days away? And Christmas is only 50 days away?

I donā€™t know about you, but this is my favorite time of year!

Letā€™s get to it!

THIS EMAIL IS PRESENTED BY VENARDOS CIRCUS

šŸŽŖ A Broadway-Style Circus Is Coming to Huntsville

Venardos Circus is bringing its A Grand Olā€™ Time Tour to MidCity this month!

The animal-free show is re-inventing the circus experience by combining the traditional elements with a Broadway-style performance.

The show will have exciting performances like acrobatics, trampoline stunts, juggling, and more.

Opening night will be on November 14, with 15 performances through November 24.

This family-friendly show is a great way to introduce your kids to a reimagined circus experience for a new generation.

We will be at opening night, and I hope you will be too! Go ahead and get your tickets now before the show sells out!

šŸ¦… Huntsvilleā€™s Veterans Day Parade

Veteranā€™s Day is this Monday, and Huntsville is celebrating with a big parade!

The parade will start at 11 AM on the corner of Woodsen Street and Holmes Avenue. You can see the parade map here.

It will make its way down Holmes Avenue, Monroe Street, Church Street, and Clinton Avenue and will finish at the opposite end of Woodson Street around 1 PM.

If youā€™d like to celebrate early, there will be a pre-parade show at Veterans Memorial Park at 10 AM with performances by the Huntsville Concert Band.

If youā€™ve never been, the parade is really popular and a lot of fun! Plan to get there early to make sure you get a good spot!
