Success at Freedom Fest

We hope you have had a great summer. Freedom Fest, held on the Fourth of July at the Hoover Met Stadium, was a tremendous success. We had a packed stadium, great entertainment and a fireworks show that was one of the best in the state! This is an annual event in our city and we hope you will plan to attend in 2015.

It’s hard to believe the students will be back in school soon and that football season is fast approaching. Hoover High will kick off their season on Aug. 23 playing Miami Central for their season opener. This game will be played at Buccaneer Stadium and aired on ESPN. Spain Park High will kick off their first game at their home field against Austin High School on Aug 22. We wish both teams continued success in their upcoming seasons. 

We are excited to announce that we are hosting the National Pro Fastpitch Championship game at the Hoover Met Aug. 20-23. This is the first time that we have hosted this championship event in our city. For more information, visit info@southernsportsgroup.com or call 202-4121.

We have a really fun event coming up in September for all of the dog lovers. It’s called WOOFSTOCK, and it will be held on Sept. 6 at Veterans Park. All the details about this event will be listed on our website, but be sure you save the date; this event is always a lot of fun! We have many other family-friendly events coming up in the fall, so there are definitely a lot of great activities to look forward to in Hoover.

 We are here to assist you, so please call us at 444-7500 or visit our website at hooveralabama.gov for information about city services or upcoming events.

Once again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as your Mayor, and we will continue to work hard to exceed your expectations.

Sincerely,

Gary Ivey

Mayor
