Saturday, the ALS Association of Alabama is sponsoring its second annual fundraising event “Walk to D’Feet ALS” at Samford University’s Seibert Stadium. Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the walk starting at 10. Registration is also available online. There is no fee to walk but you’ll need to get some sponsors behind you. Last year, the Birmingham event raised more than $65,000. Walks are also held in Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. More than $170,000 was raised statewide in 2006. This year’s statewide goal is $245,000. They can’t do it without you so families, groups and individuals are all invited to participate. The walk route is wheelchair and stroller accessible. If you can’t make it, you can still participate by donating. The ALS Association (ALSA) Alabama Chapter’s walk is part of a national effort in support of local patient services and nationally directed research. A progressive neurodegenerative disease sometimes known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS strikes more than 5,000 people in the United States each year. For more information, e-mail walk@ALSAlabama.org or call 1-800-664-1242.

This event keeps getting bigger and better. Come to the corner of 41st Street South and 5th Avenue South with the kids for an art-filled day in the park. There will be lots of hands-on activities, pony rides, music and dance, booths full of well-known and emerging artists, and a silent auction featuring work by Larry Langford, Birmingham’s mayor-elect. One of the event’s highlights is the children’s parade at 10:30 a.m. The parade leaves Avondale Elementary and takes a route through Forest Park Village, down 39th Street and into the park. These kids are cute so come cheer them on. The fun continues after 4 when the Avondale Business District opens its doors for an evening Open House Tour featuring food, entertainment, prizes, hayrides and carriage rides. Rain date is October 28. You can find more information and pictures from last year, here.
Fans of sitarist Ravi Shankar were disappointed when last season’s show was canceled due to injury. But happily, the show was rescheduled for this season. They do expect a sell out so don’t wait too long to get tickets. A few notes on the show from the Alys Stephens Center: “Virtuoso sitarist, composer, and teacher Ravi Shankar is India’s most esteemed musical ambassador. His daughter Anoushka is the only artist in the world to be trained completely by her father.” The ASC is located on the UAB campus at 1200 10th Ave. South.
Cost: $28-$62, students $10

Acclaimed bassist Edgar Meyer, dobro master Jerry Douglas and mandolin virtuoso Sam Bush are all musical icons. Normally, you would have to pay to see each individually but the Alys Stephens Center is saving you time and money by having all three on stage together. Promises to be quite a show. The ASC is located at 1200 10th Ave. South on the campus of UAB.
Cost: $22-$52, students $10

This is from the email reminder for the event being held in the Linn-Henley Lecture Hall at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens:
Lenora Pate is a Democrat who lives in the city of Birmingham; Paul DeMarco is a Republican who lives over the mountain.Yet they all agree Alabama needs to reform its century old constitution. Tomorrow they will meet on the best way to do this. Since they all hope for different outcomes, it should make for a lively discussion. Some people are angry that Over the Mountain Democrats has chosen to give various Republicans a forum. According to John Crenshaw, head of OTMDems, “We all need to work together on these issues. What is the point of continually preaching to the choir? How interesting would “Harry Potter” be without Lord Voldemort?”
