Huntsville Insider Info
Wednesday November 4, 2009
Here's some things I learned in Huntsville this week:
- To honor those who serve their country, Applebee's is offering veterans and active military to eat free on Wednesday, Nov. 11th, Veterans Day. Simply show proof of service.
- Whether you approve of the wars we are in or not, it is our job as Americans to support the troops and in the process we can help to increase their morale by showing we care. Let's face it, your show of appreciation could very well save someone's son or daughter's life. So my question to you is will you do your part and wear RED on Fridays?
- Everyone's watching their budget these days. If you want to get a jump on holiday shopping, check out the Black Friday Ad site for information and coupons. Some stores are having pre-Black Friday sales this Saturday, Nov. 7th.

- Celebrating 25 years of prayer for children and schools, Moms in Touch International is hosting an historic prayer event, inviting Christian women around the world to "Arise! Cry Out!" for the generations. Pre-register at www.MomsInTouch.org. It will be shown locally on Nov. 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in The New Room of Trinity United Methodist Church.
- The Huntsville Botanical Garden is hosting Perfect Holiday Foods with William Sonoma on Tuesday, November 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in The Arbor. Linda Mobley from William Sonoma will be here demonstrating recipes that will make you look like a gourmet chef at all your holiday festivities. For more info, call 430-3572 ext. 241.
