Independence Day Weekend 

On Sunday July 5th we intend to have a parade of boats showing support for our President from the Dam to the I20 bridge. This page is nothing more than an advertisement that my boat and many of my friends boats will proudly be driving up the lake at a modest pace and if you choose to follow you are more than welcome. This page is not for political discussion or shaming people that choose to participate or not. If anyone wants to fly a flag for the other candidate, contact me and we will let both of you go first. This is strictly for fun and nothing else and we hope we have a very large turnout.

We are excited to introduce you to Pennington Park. As background, in 2018 Kurt and Leigh Pfitzner purchased 2 shaded, undeveloped acres at 121 N. Spring Street in Dadeville next to the Post Office. The idea was to bring a wide variety of music, art and community events to downtown Dadeville. To help make that happen and with the help of several local residents, we built a Pavilion, and installed electricity and water and are ready to go! Our first major event is on July12, 2020, 1pm - 5 pm, and is a traditional farmers market. 

We are working to develop a cross-section of local growers and vendors to bring the freshest and most diverse vendors possible to Dadeville. The event will feature food vendors and musicians in addtion to vendors.

To participate, please contact Kurt or Leigh Pfitzner at 334-233-9852 or email us at kppfitzner@gmail.com. You can even leave us a note on the Pennington Park Facebook page.

We encourage everyone to get the word out!!! If you have any questions, please give us a call. See you there!!!
