Friday, the Team strolled Bridgestreet in the morning for a few hours before settling in the afternoon at The Gem, Jewelry, & Mineral Show at the VBC.
Saturday, it seems everyone was at the Huntsville Ghost Walk to hear the stories and see the historical homes during the 2.2 mile trek. When our group led by Robert Reeves came back to the starting point, there were many more people on the four corners waiting for their turn to go for the 8PM Start. The amount of people that came out was overwhelming to see.
Sunday, we enjoyed ourselves immensely at the Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll. Like the Huntsville Ghost Walk on the previous day, Maple Hill Cemetery was completely packed full of people. The crowds which surrounded the Huntsville Historical Figures where bustling at the seams. The Black Widow of Hazel Green, Elizabeth Dale Gibbons could even have her pick of any of the multitudes of men in attendance.
We even managed to take a nice picture of Mary Bibb as she talked about herself and her tomb behind her.

All in all it was a very fun weekend but exhausting to try and make all the wonderful events. Going to all the events was well worth it for both self enjoyment, involvement in the community, as well as interacting with other people we met along the way. So if something like these events comes again we'll go again, and we can only hope you will as well!
