This issue is our first graduation issue, and we are thankful to three outstanding local schools that allowed us to share in the celebration of their graduates. We congratulate the kindergarten class of St. James Episcopal School on moving up to first grade. We are excited to see Christ the King Catholic School’s eighth grade class ready for high school. We applaud the students of the Senior class of Bayside Academy for their impressive accomplishments and look forward to seeing the great success they achieve in the future.

Our event coverage includes some of the biggest events of the year: Fairhope Rotary Steak Cook Off, Fairhope Girls Night Out, and the return of Celebrate Life to name a few. We are honored to feature one of the most dedicated servant leaders in our community, Baldwin County Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack, alongside some other remarkable people included in this issue’s editorial pieces.

We hope you enjoy fun in the sun, celebrating our country’s independence and being with family and friends this summer. We will be working on an August issue you won’t want to miss.
