We have another packed weekend at our base camp in Birmingham. The Indy Grand Prix of Alabama is out at Barber Motorsports Park. Thanks to all of you, it is a sellout for Saturday and Sunday. The USFL has its biggest day since Opening Night Saturday at Protective Stadium. Bandits vs. Gamblers at 3:00 pm, then Birmingham’s team, Stallions vs. Breakers for first place at 7:00 pm. Family fun (picture above) and one ticket will get you into both games. Those things with our usual lake, gulf, golf, etc. and it should be a fun weekend. Be Blessed. – Jim Dunaway
