Local Summer Bucket List
Looking for things to do once school lets out this week? Grab your Fairhope Summer Bucket List at the Fairhope Farmers Market while we have them! There are several impressive vendors to check out while you are there for produce, breads, flowers, honey, and other treats! Don’t worry, we will be giving the Bucket Lists away all summer! Follow along to see where we’ll be giving them out next! Behind the Fairhope Public Library on Thursdays, 3-6 PM.
Shopping at the Fairhope Farmers Market is not just a great way to enjoy fresh, locally grown produce; it also plays a crucial role in supporting local farmers and the community as a whole. By purchasing directly from farmers, consumers help sustain local agriculture, ensuring that small-scale farmers can thrive in an industry often dominated by large corporations.

“Roots Run Deep” photography by Leigh Ann Edmonds at ESAC now through June 14. This documentary series focuses on the people and places of the American South with an emphasis on what it means to belong to community. Do these communities shape, guide and ultimately connect us to who we are and what we become throughout our life? Are we the thoughts of our own self or are our thoughts a reflection of others within our own environment?
Roots Run Deep is about the places we love, the beliefs we carry and the people we ultimately become when we belong and connect to a place of origin.
This black and white documentary is about human connection and traditions of the American South, as photographer, Leigh Ann Edmonds, focuses on everyday life. Leigh Ann’s classic use of black and white 35mm film helps create nostalgic and enduring story-telling images of the people and places she is connected to.
Leigh Ann Edmonds is a freelance photographer living in North Jefferson County, Alabama. Her work has been featured in Black and White Magazine, Street Photography Magazine, Fotonostrum, Dodho Magazine, Birmingham Lifestyle Magazine, CLICK and others. Learn more here
Fairhope Adoptable Pets: Meet Harley
Harley is a kind and expressive black and white Lab mix with a personality as striking as her markings. Known for her gentle soul and big heart, she's the type of dog who immediately puts people at ease. Harley is deeply affectionate and thrives on being close to her humans, always ready to offer quiet companionship or a friendly nudge. Her calm demeanor makes her a wonderful presence in any home, bringing a steady, loving energy wherever she goes.
But Harley also knows how to speak her mind-she's delightfully vocal and isn't shy about letting you know when she's excited, wants attention, or just feels like chiming in. Whether it's a playful bark or a soft "talking" growl, her voice is part of her charm. Loyal and intuitive, Harley forms strong bonds with her people and isn't afraid to stand up as both protector and best friend. She's not just a pet; she's a true family member with a heart full of kindness and a voice full of character.
