Check out the Gift Wrapping Station

Fairhope Public Library is here to help this holiday season! Starting this week the library shares that: “We have a free holiday Gift Wrapping Station! Bring your gifts; we have the ribbon, paper, tape, etc.” They simply ask - “Please initial the Gift Wrap Tally Sheet provided after you use the station so we have an idea of how many people have come by!”

Fairhope Christmas Parade Route

The Annual Fairhope Christmas Parade in Downtown Fairhope will be on Friday Dec. 6th at 7:00 pm. Head downtown early for dinner and then join others to enjoy the parade that begins at the intersection of Morphy and Section St and continues down Section to Oak St. The excitement will build as more than 60 parade units dazzle the crowd in anticipation of Santa Claus’ arrival to Fairhope for the holiday season! Please note that the parade route will be closed starting at 5 p.m., so be on the lookout for “No Parking” signs. Learn more here: Fairhope Police Department

St. Lawrence is still accepting Bake Sale items if you would like to contribute! Learn more here: St Lawrence Catholic Church Fairhope

Fairhope Adoptable Pets: Meet Diego

Meet Diego, a 3-month-old black and white American Pit Bull Terrier who is as sweet as he is shy. This little guy may take a moment to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, he'll melt your heart with his gentle and loving nature. Diego's adorable black and white coat perfectly complements his quiet, calm personality, making him an easygoing pup who enjoys a peaceful environment. While he may be a bit reserved at first, he's eager to form deep bonds with those who show him patience and affection. Diego is a shy but incredibly sweet puppy who thrives on love and attention from his trusted humans. He's the type of dog who will quietly sit by your side, enjoying every moment of companionship. As he grows more confident, Diego is sure to become a loyal and devoted companion. If you have the time and patience to help him feel at home, he'll reward you with unconditional love and affection. Come meet Diego today and give this sweet boy the chance to shine in your life! Learn more about Diego and other adoptable pets by clicking through to The Haven.
