We’ve put together a comprehensive Mardi Gras review issue that captures the unique spirit of the Eastern Shore. From parades for the littlest revelers to unforgettable Mardi Gras balls and cherished traditions, we’re excited to share it all. A special Happy Anniversary to the Knights of Ecor Rouge, Krewe of Mullet Mates, and Apollo’s Mystic Ladies!

This issue also highlights the incredible work of the American Cancer Society and honors local veteran Tonya Butler, a passionate advocate for her fellow veterans.  You’ll get to know SuperMom Page Cunningham Smith, whose dedication to family, creativity, and giving back is truly inspiring. You will also see why she’s the perfect SuperMom for our Mardi Gras Review issue.

As we welcome spring, we’re excited for upcoming events like the Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival and The Bay Affair. Be sure to grab our next issue for coverage of these great events and more.
