Dear Readers …

And so it begins …. Tuscaloosa ’ s MOST wonderful time of the year ! Speaking of UA Football , on page 24 we ’ ve included a 2024 schedule for you to tear out and keep somewhere handy throughout the season .
Between football season and tons of family-friendly entertainment such as Disney On Ice and the exciting all new Ringling Bros . and Barnum & Bailey Circus coming to the BJCC , your calendar is going to be packed over the next few months !
Our annual Guide to Family Health & Wellness is a great resource for the entire family you ’ ll want to keep on hand for referencing when needed . I know you will enjoy a fantastic piece by our fabulous travel writer , Linda Holloway , highlighting what Nashville has to offer for the various ages and interests in your family .
