It seems like there are many events which fall on next weekend of Oct 11-13 and because of the team's busy schedule we may not get a chance to get the information out. Here are just a few of them to go to. The team will try to hit at least three of these wonderful events. If you see the team show up with new jewelry, pictures, fresh vegetables and looking full of food, you will know what happened. Best thing that can be said about these events that people don't realize that these events are mostly local with a possible exception of a few vendors at the Gem and Mineral Show. A few vendors might come from the edge of the Tennessee Valley or outside of it.
Huntsville's Maple Hill Cemetery Stroll 10/13/13 from 2-4:30PM
Usually more than 80 historical figures among the 80,000 dead tell their story throughout the afternoon in a delightful experience of walking, listening to stories, and listening to music.
2013 Gem, Jewelry & Mineral Show Oct 11 & 12 10AM-6PM & Oct 13 Noon-5PM
A great experience for finding great jewelry, loose gems, and fun table and corner placements. With many vendors and possible combinations of jewelry, this visit is definitely worth it.
Huntsville Ghost Tour 6PM on weekends Fri & Sat
Fun stories of Huntsville's first residents, intrigue, murder, and scandal. These walks make you go back for weeks on end to hear something you may missed.
Madison City Farmers Market 10/12/13 9AM-1PM
1282 Hughes Road, next to Discovery Middle School.
Inaugural Downtown Street Food Gathering Oct 11th 6-9PM

Outdoor Nature Places to Visit & US Army Soldier Show
Today's post comes from a reader who asked about outdoor nature places for hiking, fishing, and just to go be with the large expanses of nature.
Being that Huntsville is one of the cities with the most green spaces in the country, there are plenty of places to go in the city, metro area and for day trips outside the city.
Below are links we have assembled for going outdoors and getting into nature and being a part of different activities and observe the wonderful green scenery.
Huntsville Botanical Garden
Madison County Nature Trail on Green Mountain
Land Trust of North Alabama
Big Spring Park
Maple Hill Cemetery
State Parks of Alabama
Monte Sano State Park
Lake Guntersville State Park
Cathedral Caverns State Park
Alabama Vacation Guide
Today's Tidbit: Another part of The Carol Jacobs Team went out to the US Army Soldier Show Wednesday night and it was fantastic. A superb performance of singing, dancing, and acting. The stage had wonderful lights props, and soldiers that really had you believe they were professionals at everything they did. The music, singing, and dancing cut across all boundaries from country, rap, jazz, dance hall, Disney, rock, pop, and musicals. Here is the rest of the Tour Schedule for the US Army Soldier Show!

Quick Review of Concert in the Park: 7/22/13, US Army Materiel Command Band
Part of the Carol Jacobs team went to last night's Concerts in the Park on a whim and were pleased with the turnout, environment, and fun.
Put on by The Arts Council Inc of Huntsville, AL & the Department of Recreational Services of Huntsville, AL, was moved indoors because of the rain during the day and possible rain later on. The relocated event took place in the South Hall of the VBC, on the south side of the VBC Arena. The hall was completely air conditioned and over 95% brought their lawn chairs and folding chairs while the vendors sold food and drinks.
The MC for the evening was Steve Johnson of WHNT who introduced everyone from the band to guests to present honors to the band.
Once the the music started, it began with several jazz pieces then moving to the title track from the movie "1941" and the Olympic signature piece "Fanfare for the common man" among many others. The performers were looking very sharp and their instruments were completely sterling with shine that could be seen in the far back of the hall.
Intermingling with the crowd were also reenactors dressed up in different period uniforms from nurses from the Vietnam and WWII era, to Vietnam Recon soldiers and WWII infantry.
The large crowd gave applause after every set and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. With a concert this nice, free, and easy access to the event everyone was pleased to have made it.
We eagerly look forward to going to more Concerts in the Park.
