Baseball, graduation and more in Hoover this month

With summer fast approaching, I hope you will take a little time and go visit the beautiful Aldridge Gardens, which is located on Lorna Road. This is a gorgeous and serene place that is free to the public and a great place to enjoy a leisurely afternoon picnic. We have many other parks in Hoover. If you need directions or additional information about our parks, visit our website  at hooveralabama.org or call 444-7500.

Over the past 17 years, the top baseball teams from the Western and Eastern Divisions have met in May at the Hoover Met to determine the champions of the Southeastern Conference.  The games draw more than 125,000 fans to Hoover over the week- long competition. The 2015 SEC Baseball Tournament will be played during the week of May 18- 24. Be sure and visit secsports.com for ticket information.

The Hot Rod Power tour will be coming to Hoover on June 10 to the Hoover Met. Be sure you save the date and additional details will be in next month’s Mayor’s Minute or you can visit our website. 

Finally, congratulations to all the upcoming high school graduates and college graduates in Hoover! May is a very exciting time in the lives of our students as they embark on getting ready for their next step in life whether it is college or starting their careers.

Please remember that the city leaders and employees are here for you and will continue to try and exceed your expectations in every way with our quality of services. Please contact our office if we can be of assistance to you.

Sincerely,

Gary Ivey

Mayor
