Now I know that I’m taking away some of Christina’s thunder from her Friday morning post about ideas for the weekend, but hear me out. If you don’t plan on being downtown for the pageantry, music and free ice cream that is this year’s Magic City Classic Parade, perhaps you may want to venture on over to Colonial Brookwood Village and help the University of Alabama crew team out in their efforts to raise money for both themselves and the American Heart Association. Their site’s got more information about the event and how you can give. It’s their football team’s off-week, so there’s no real reason to not go, now is there?
