Baileyton’s Harvest at the Park brings a Stars Hollow kind of magic to Cullman County

BAILEYTON, Ala. – Some towns hold festivals. Baileyton, it turns out, holds its people close. On Saturday, Oct. 31, Baileyton Town Park filled with hay bales and painted pumpkins, bounce houses and classic cars, sack races and sunflowers for the town’s first-ever Harvest at the Park. Neighbors wandered between vendor tents. Children raced from the merry-go-round to the Fun Zone. A principal took the plunge in a dunk tank for a good cause. And as the sun went down, the trunks opened and the candy came out. For anyone walking in for the first time, it felt a little like stepping into a storybook town, the kind of place where everybody knows your name and the whole community turns out for every season. That was exactly the point. Finding Stars Hollow in Baileyton When Baileyton Council members Kaleigha Fitch and Taran Garrison sat down to plan the town’s first Harvest at the Park, they shared the same vision: they wanted it to feel like Stars Hollow, the fictional hometown from the TV show “Gilmore Girls,” famous for its cozy town square, its quirky traditions and the way the whole community shows up for one another. They had just two months

Cullman gathers by candlelight for ‘An Evening with Poe’

CULLMAN, Ala. – The night came on, as November nights do, cold and early and quiet. Inside Jubilee Kitchen + Bar, the candles were already lit. Tall tapers flickered against dark walls. Deep crimson cloth pooled across the tables like spilled wine, and a single red rose waited beside each small glass vase. At the bar, beneath a chandelier glowing like a cluster of pale moons, cocktails with names borrowed from the grave were shaken and poured. And then, as the hour of six drew near, the room fell still, and the voice of Edgar Allan Poe returned to the living. Jubilee and the Cullman County Public Library joined forces Monday, Nov. 2, for “An Evening with Poe,” a night of cocktails and dramatic readings celebrating the 19th-century master of mystery and the macabre. Guests gathered for a cocktail hour at 5 p.m. before readings began at 6. Even the drinks were steeped in dread. Jubilee’s “An Evening with Poe” specials menu, marked with a perched raven, offered five cocktails inspired by the author’s darkest works: The Black Cat: vodka, chocolate liqueur, cherry and heavy cream The Raven: blanco tequila, Cointreau, blackberry and lime The Pale Blue Eye: gin, elderflower

Cullman Community Theatre invites voices to bring Christmas magic to Christkindlmarkt

CULLMAN, Ala. – Picture it: twinkling lights strung across Depot Park, the scent of roasted nuts and warm cider drifting through the cold night air, and the soft glow of wooden huts dusted in holiday cheer. Then, just around the corner, a group of carolers in top hats and long Victorian skirts begins to sing. It’s like immersing yourself in a scene from a Hallmark Christmas movie. And this holiday season, in the heart of Cullman, you could be one of the voices. Cullman Community Theatre is inviting singers of all ages to join its Christmas Caroling group, which will spread holiday cheer at the Cullman Christkindlmarkt this season. “We’re getting ready to spread some holiday cheer at the Cullman Christkindlmarkt, and we’d love to have you join us!” the theatre shared.
