Fairhope Memorial Day Celebration Food Options
John Oldshue & Anne Dorman
May 26, 2025
Good morning, Fairhope —
Dust off your flip-flops and pass the potato salad—summer has officially arrived on the breeze off Mobile Bay. The azaleas are showin’ off, the cicadas are tuning up for their seasonal concert, and every porch swing in town is back in business.
But before we lean too far into the sweet tea and sunhats, let’s pause. Today is Memorial Day, a day not just for cookouts and beach chairs, but for remembering the brave men and women who gave everything so we could live free and gather safe. We honor their sacrifice, their courage, and the legacy they left behind. If you get a quiet moment today—between bites of barbecue or while the sun sets over the bay—say a prayer, raise a glass, or simply remember. That’s the heart of this day.
Now, to add a little lightness to your Monday:
Joke of the day: They all laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian; Well, they're not laughing now.
Stay grateful, stay cool, and scroll on for all the good things happening around town this week. And as always, if you share FairhopeNow.com with someone you love, shoot us an email at [email protected] for a chance to win a $25 Kind Cafe gift card—because iced coffee hits different when it’s free.

Fairhope Adoptable Pets: Meet Connie
Say hello to Connie, a 7-year-old grey dilute tortoiseshell who's ready to roll into your life like a fluffy, smoky cyclone of cuddles and comedy! With her soft, misty coat shimmering like a twilight dream and a personality that sparkles brighter than a disco ball, this furball's the queen of cozy and the jester of joy. Connie's not just a cat-she's a one-kitty circus, flipping and zooming through the house with rollie-pollie antics that'll have you laughing ‘til your sides ache! This little sunshine machine's got a playbook full of fun-catch her chasing her tail like a goofy whirlwind, pouncing on a stray string with the glee of a kitten, or flopping into the coziest nook for a nap that's pure purr-fection. But when it's cuddle time? Oh, Connie shines! She'll dish out headbutts like love bombs, pat you with paws softer than marshmallows, and climb into your lap for a snuggle sesh so epic, you'll lose track of time. Her mission? To plaster you with affection and keep you grinning from ear to ear! Connie's a heart-stealing, tail-wagging (well, almost!) bundle of bliss, ready to sprinkle your days with hilarity and warmth. She's the snuggly, sassy companion you didn't know you were missing-and The Haven team's itching to make her yours! Want to meet this tortie treasure? Fill out an adoption application today, and we'll set up a Meet and Greet where Connie can dazzle you with her quirky charm. One rollie-pollie from this gal, and you'll be ready to whisk her home to reign as your VIP (Very Irresistible Purr-er)!
