We were lucky enough to see it turn around right in front of us at the LP Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans . . .

Vintage boats

Friday night we went to see vintage boats at the Alabama State Park which is near our town.

Joe Wheeler Lodge and Marina (http://www.alapark.com/JoeWheeler/) has a vintage boat show each year (I think each year).

This year it coincides with the start of the W. C. Handy Festival which is an annual Blues event in the Shoals area of North Alabama.   It might be planned during the Handy Festival each year, but I'm not sure.

It is only a few minutes from our house.  The lodge and marina are on a creek which runs from the Tennessee River.

There weren't that many vintage boats there, but there was one from 1927.  It looked as good as the ones from the fifties and sixties.  Did I get a photo of it?  No.

There are always deer around, especially in the evening.  I was hoping to see a fawn or two, but no luck.

This one stayed about ten feet from the car while I took its picture.

Handy Festival poster design (http://www.wchandymusicfestival.org/festival.htm):  "This year's winners are a team of undergraduate students from the University of North Alabama;  Savannah Trammell from Rogersville, Alabama; Taylor Noblit from Tuscumbia, Alabama; and Kristen Dunn from Muscle Shoals, Alabama.  The design was created as a class assignment for an honors computing course taught at UNA by Ron Davis, Assistant Professor of Computing Information Systems.  All three students are members of the UNA Honors Program."

Next Friday, as part of the Handy Festival, a "Tina Turner" impersonator is being featured again at Joe Wheeler State Park.
If I go, maybe you'll get to see her next Saturday.  :)
