 The
Shoals is the site for the Alabama Renaissance Faire, held each
October, as well as Arts Alive, Heritage Days, the Freedom of
America Celebration on the fourth of July, an annual Trail of
Tears Celebration, and many others.
The
Shoals is an outdoor lover's dream. Golfers pick from a variety
of public and private courses. The river and its system of
lakes offers a variety of recreational activities.
Nature lovers and bird watchers find much to enjoy in the area's
public parks, camping areas and walking trails. In the spring,
neighborhoods come alive with flowering dogwoods and azaleas,
and the downtown areas buzz with activity as restaurants move
tables to the sidewalk and enjoy another change of season.
But there's plenty to do indoors, as well. The Kennedy-Douglass
and Tennessee Valley Art Centers offer exhibits, classes and
juried shows. Theater groups and dance studios perform; museums
offer educational programs.
A
mix of manufacturing, service industries, retail, medical and
financial institutions give the Shoals stability and strength.
This is a shopping and medical hub for the tri-state area.
The Shoals is the sixth largest
market in Alabama and offers numerous opportunities for business
investment and enhanced quality of life. |
