Birmingham Christian Family owner Laurie Stroud Franklin says “We’re happy to be celebrating 23 years of the magazine by living out our mission of spreading GOOD NEWS and this is a great way of celebrating with us by inviting the entire community to come celebrate as we share with families free resources to help them meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. “We established this event as a way to say thank you to our readers and followers. The event will be filled with fun activities for the entire family including live music, inflatables for kids, face painting, free giveaways, exhibits manned by people from various business, ministries, churches, and other organizations.

For adults there will be many resources and vendors at the event. There will be free giveaways and swag bags for the first 250 people that includes totes filled with different novelty items from participating sponsors. Extra added fun this year with a Celebrity Chef Cooking Stage featuring founder of Ashley Mac’s, social media sensation Danna Standridge, BBQ legend Van Sykes of Bob Sykes Bar B Q, beloved Southern cook Brenda Gannt, Alabama author Walt Merrell, Lee Pantazis of Gus’s Hotdogs and more.
