Greetings from C. Darby Ulery, founder of "Let's Go! Fairhope" events-related newsletter, calendar and website resource for Fairhope, Alabama.

Congratulations to Rebecca Littlepage! Local teacher and Let's Go! Fairhope (LG!F) reader, Rebecca's name was picked at random out of the LG!F hat from email entries submitted to last week's trivia question by Barney Boo Boo, official LG!F local-rescue-kitten-assistant-extraordinaire. Rebecca won two tickets to this week's Live at Five concert series event with JJ Grey & Mofro at Halstead Amphitheater.

Last Week's Question: What important event occurred on November 15, 1894 in Fairhope, Alabama?

Rebecca's answer: "On November 15, 1894, 19 adults and 9 children arrived and established a community (Round Up Day). Afterwards, a single tax plan gave them a “fair hope” of succeeding, founding the Fairhope Single Tax Colony."

Thank you to everyone who replied with an answer and entered!

****This Week's Trivia Question:****

Was Henry George (namesake for Henry George park on the bluff) in Fairhope for Round Up Day in 1894?

Hope and Help for the Holidays Workshop

Monday, November 4

2:00-4:00 pm

Location: Fairhope Christian Church, 349 Fairwood Blvd.

Dealing with loss can be stressful and hard work at any time of the year; it can be more stressful during the holidays and other special days.

Hope and Help for the Holidays is a workshop to provide resources to help persons cope with loss and grief during this time. Principles, guidelines, and practical suggestions will be shared, many of which will be in the form of handouts.

If you have experienced a loss or if you know someone who has, you are welcome to attend. Please call the church office, 251-928-8495 to let us know you are coming so we may have enough copies of the resources for everyone.
