SUMMARY:The Drifters & Cornell Gunter’s Coasters
DESCRIPTION:It’s not a concert…it’s a party! Spend a nostalgic evening saluting two of the world’s most beloved musical groups who were instrumental in creating the Rock & Roll/Doo Wop sound:  \nCornell Gunter’s Coasters: Known for hits like “Charlie Brown\,” “Yakety Yak\,” and “Poison Ivy\,” this group brings a comedic flair to their performances that will have you reminiscing about the golden age of Rock & Roll.  \nThe Drifters: One of Rock & Roll’s founding vocal groups\, The Drifters are touring the U.S. again under the auspices of their original management team. With a 50-year catalog of hits such as “Under the Boardwalk\,” “Up on the Roof\,” “This Magic Moment\,” and “On Broadway\,” they deliver a timeless sound that continues to resonate with audiences.  \nCombined\, these two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame groups have been associated with well over forty of the top classic songs in Rock & Roll history. From “Under the Boardwalk” to “Yakety Yak\,” very few artists can boast a richer musical resume. With such incredible musical diversity—from the comedy of Cornell Gunter’s Coasters to the Motown magic of The Drifters—this show has songs to please every palate\, delivered just the way you remember them when you first heard them on the radio.

SUMMARY:Guided Canoe Trip: Centreville to Harrisburg – April 6
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, April 6th\, from 8 am to 5 pm\nCaravan Meeting Location: Amped Fitness in the Colonnade\nBoat Launch Meeting Location: Centreville Blueway Access\nDay of event contact: Wil Rainer\, Mobile: (901) 210-7850\nCost: $40 per person. Children 12 and under are free. Members\, remember your discount code! \nYou will need: Brown bag lunch\, at least 1 liter of water\, sun protection\, close-toed shoes you don’t mind getting dirty\nWe will provide: Boats (contact recreation@cahabariversociety.org to inquire about using your own boat)\, paddles\, and life jackets.\nDifficulty level: Medium to Hard: this 13.3 mile trip is considered medium to hard based on the distance of the trip. We will be making stops along the way\, but in order to be back home at a reasonable hour\, we will want to limit our breaks.\nRegistration: Email our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer\n\nDescription\nThis 13.3 mile trip begins in the last shoals of the Valley and Ridge province of the Appalachian Mountains and travels through the Fall Line into the Coastal Plain province. In November of 2024\, while paddling this stretch\, we heard a heavy splash. We turned and saw four beavers flying out from their hiding place under a hanging root mat. As the bow of our boat touched the bank where the beavers had been hiding\, another beaver flew out of the cubby not two feet from the bow of our boat. We will get on the water at the Centreville access and get off the water at the Harrisburg access. Harrisburg is an unimproved  \nWhat to Expect:\nAs we begin our trip along this segment\, we will keep an eye out for the “V” shaped rock formation between the island and the left bank. This is likely an ancient weir built by the Native Americans to catch fish. This shoal lies at the “Fall Line\,” which is the last place we will encounter the 250+ million year old hard rocks of Alabama’s uplands. Below this point\, the river’s character changes dramatically. We will notice that the river takes on wide meanders\, bending back and forth\, and the rocky shoals above the Fall Line are now replaced by broad gravel bars and beaches. We are now in Alabama’s Coastal Plain region\, and the rocks here are much younger (80-100 million years old) and softer than those above the Fall Line. Part of Alabama’s vast biodiversity is due to the wide variety of habitat types across the state. Just in the Cahaba River\, we can generally divide the river into the Appalachian region above the Fall Line; the unique geological and hydrological conditions present as in the Fall Line; and the broad\, sandy soils below the Fall Line. Some Cahaba critters prefer to live only above\, some only below\, and some occupy all three of these habitat types. \nThe Centreville access is wooden and metal steps leading down to a broad\, flat bedrock. The Harrisburg access is an unimproved access with a steep hill. Cahaba River Society guides are available to help guests navigate any obstacles along the way.  \nGuided canoe trips are weather and water-dependent. If there are changes or cancellations\, Wil Rainer will contact each guest and let you know the plan. \nWhat to Bring\n\nWater (plan to bring 2 liters for this longer trip)\nLunch & snacks\nSunscreen\nSun hat\nClose-toed water shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not protective enough when walking through the shoals. This site shows some of the shoes our team might be wearing.\nPhotography equipment (don’t forget we will be on the water)\n\nYou are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch\, but alcohol is prohibited. \nRegistration:\nEmail our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer (recreation@cahabariversociety.org) with the following information. \n\nTrip name/date\nNumber of people\, specify number of children and ages\n\nMake your suggested donation HERE.

SUMMARY:YOU CAN'T HIDE: Comedy with Casey Skinner - April 9 at True Story Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Join us to welcome Los Angeles-based comedian and storyteller CASEY SKINNER to Birmingham on April 9 as he shares his new one man show\, YOU CAN’T HIDE. \n* * * * * * \nThe Cecil Hotel exploded into the zeitgeist in 2013 when Elisa Lam was found in the water tower on the roof\, sparking a flood of internet speculation about its deadly history—countless deaths\, ghost stories\, and serial killers\, like the Night Stalker\, Richard Ramirez. \nThen came the Netflix documentaries\, the American Horror Story season\, the viral deep dives…. \nBut long before the world obsessed over its horrors\, before Elisa Lam’s disappearance\, the Cecil’s darkness was a secret only locals knew. \nAn oblivious out-of-towner\, Casey Skinner\, checked in—only to uncover its past\, present\, and eerie future the hard way. You Can’t Hide is the hilarious – yet unsettling – true story of what happened next. \n* * * * * * * \nCasey Skinner is an LA-based comedian known for his sharp wit and engaging storytelling. He has performed at legendary venues like The Comedy Store and The Improv\, bringing his unique perspective to audiences across the country. In addition to his stand-up career\, Casey has appeared on BRAVO and E! and has worked behind the scenes as a producer on hit TV shows for Netflix\, Discovery\, and MAX. Whether on stage or behind the camera\, he thrives in the art of crafting compelling\, hilarious\, and memorable stories.

This guided canoe trip offers a peaceful and immersive journey through the Cahaba’s calm waters under the glow of the moon and stars. As we paddle upstream\, we will move quietly and attentively\, allowing us to observe the sights and sounds of the river at night. After about an hour\, we will pause to reflect on our discoveries\, share observations\, and answer questions before making our way back downstream to the boat launch. \nThis flat-water\, out-and-back trip is designed for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Since there is no current to assist or resist our paddling\, we will set a comfortable pace\, ensuring that no one feels rushed or fatigued early on. Participants will put in and take out at the same location\, eliminating the need for a shuttle. \nIn total\, we will spend approximately two hours on the water\, with an additional hour for setup and breakdown\, making the entire experience last around three hours. This is a rare opportunity to see the Cahaba River in a way few get to experience. \n  \nRegistration\nAccess registration form HERE. \nMake your suggested donation HERE.

SUMMARY:Everything Is Great! A Town Hall for the People
DESCRIPTION:Part Town Hall\, Part improvised parody. \nReal issues and questions are fielded by comedians playing the roles of absent elected officials in this improvised live game show version of a TOWN HALL! \nComedians have come together to take the reins of the absurdity of our current political moment and create a hilarious and cathartic town hall event. \nAlabama native and internationally touring performer Matt Davis (MattDavisComedy.com) debuts a brand new show that addresses the current moment head on. \nDesigned in the vein of other Fringe Arts Festival shows Matt has produced\, the format combines interactive elements and improvised lines with an almost game show-esque excitement to parody the spectacle and dismissiveness on display between elected officials and the people they seem loath to represent. \nAn expert cast of improvisers (some of the area’s best) are thrown in the game to represent the absent\, empty chair\, elected officials. Through a series of rounds the comedians lend their voice to the missing officials\, and answer real questions and concerns posed by the audience. But! The comedians must toe-the-line that “everything is great” in all their responses. That is\, if they wish to receive points from our host\, Mr. Dark Money himself. The audience\, however\, is here to win\, too! And they boo and jeer on queue\, amid ridiculous answers\, blatant sponsorships\, redemption groveling\, surprise guests\, and other wild happenings. \nAll together it turns our town hall parody into a hilarious evening of improvised comedy\, and real community catharsis! Grab your civic-minded friends\, or those you think need to be inspired to get involved\, and meet us April 30th at Saturn in Avondale for what we hope is the first of many wild and funny nights. \nMore info can be found on: https://TownHallShow.com

SUMMARY:Cahaba BioBlitz 2025
DESCRIPTION:WEATHER UPDATE:\nDue to the threat of severe weather and thunderstorms\, we’re canceling Saturday’s portion of Cahaba River Society’s BioBlitz at Oak Mountain State Park. Your safety comes first — and we appreciate your understanding! SUNDAY IS STILL ON! Join us for a half-day of biodiversity discovery. \nBioBlitz is Back!\n \nThis free\, family-friendly conservation & environmental education event – led by some of our region’s premiere nature and wildlife experts –  is a chance for people from all backgrounds to be introduced to citizen science and safe recreation in the outdoors. At a BioBlitz\, scientists\, families\, students\, teachers\, and other community members work together to get a snapshot of an area’s biodiversity. Enjoy connecting to nature and discovering new critters while contributing to scientific data collection on local biodiversity. \nFun Fact: The last BioBlitz at this location was almost 10 years ago\, making this a rare opportunity to gather new data on the park’s changing ecosystem. \nWHEN: May 4\, 2025\n6–7 AM: Birding walk \n7 AM–12 PM: BioBlitz activities (guided & solo) \n9–11 AM: Macroinvertebrate surveying at the archery range \n12 PM: Official wrap-up \nWHERE: Oak Mountain State Park\nCheck in at BioBlitz Headquarters when you arrive: South Trailhead Field \nAs you enter the park\, tell the gate attendant that you are here for BioBlitz and you will not have to pay park entry. \nRegister HERE for free!\nWe’ll email you a detailed schedule\, a map of points of interest\, and other helpful information in advance of the event. \n\n\nWhat is a BioBlitz?\nAt a BioBlitz\, scientists\, families\, students\, teachers\, and other community members work together to get a snapshot of an area’s biodiversity. This BioBlitz will bring local scientists\, educators\, conservation organizations\, and community members together to build an awareness of the biodiversity within local ecosystems while collecting useful scientific data. Teams of volunteers will work with onsite experts to find and identify as many species of plants and animals\, on land and in the water\, as can be found on this special site. \nWhat will we be documenting and how will it be recorded? \nWith your help\, we will be documenting a variety of species\, including: \n\nBirds and mammals\nFish\, mussels\, and aquatic macroinvertebrates\nReptiles and amphibians\nInsects and arachnids\nPlant species\, lichens and fungi\nWater quality\n\nWe will record observations using iNaturalist or good old pen and paper. \niNaturalist is a FREE online database and smart phone app that allows users to upload and share photos of living things that they observe in nature. It helps users to identify their own observations and share them with their community\, connecting people to nature and advancing biodiversity science and conservation. \nTo participate in the BioBlitz\, anyone can use their smart phone to take a photo of a living thing at Oak Mountain State Park on the day of the BioBlitz\, and upload it to iNaturalist using either the smartphone app or the website. \nWe recommend using the app and downloading the app and setting up your free account ahead of time. This will give you a chance to check it out and practice uploading observations. Also\, cell service can be spotty in some areas of the park\, so you may not be able to download it there. Don’t worry–you can still record observations in the app even if you don’t have phone service. They will sync next time you connect to the internet.

SUMMARY:Mom’s Basement Cleanup Series – May 10
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, May 10th 2025 from 9 am to 3 pm\nMeeting Location: Little Cahaba River off Cahaba Beach Rd\nDay of event contact: Wil Rainer\, Mobile: (901) 210-7850\nAvailability: We have room for 22 volunteers in CRS boats. Participants are welcome to bring their own craft. Please indicate during registration if you plan to bring your own boat.\nRegistration: Click here!\n\n\n\n  \nWhat to expect: \nThis is a paddling cleanup in canoes.\n  \nThe Little Cahaba River winds its way from Moody through Leeds\, eventually joining the Cahaba River just north of Highway 280. Along its journey\, it flows through forests\, beneath urban landscapes\, and into a reservoir. It serves as a habitat for threatened and endangered species\, yet it also faces the challenges of both intentional and unintentional pollution.\n  \nWe will be meeting on Cahaba Beach Rd where we’ll pass out gear and choose our paddling partners for the day. We will set the shuttle before the trip so that your car is at the Siccard Hollow side when we get off the water. This process will take from 20-30 minutes. More details of the shuttle process will be shared at the event. For more information on the stretches of the Cahaba check out the Cahaba Blueway. River segment is dependent on weather and water level.\n  \nCRS will provide canoes\, paddles\, life jackets\, grabbers\, bags\, and gloves. There is no charge for this trip. Folks are absolutely welcome and encouraged to head to the CRS website for donations to offset program costs to CRS.\n\n\n  \nAfter every Mom’s Basement Cleanup there will be an afterparty at Mom’s Basement with drink specials and prize giveaways for each participant! Details will be given at the cleanup.\n  \nWhat to bring: \n\n\n Water (at least 1 liter)\n Lunch\n Sunscreen\n Sun hat\nClose-toed shoes (required)\n\nYou are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch\, but alcohol is prohibited.  \n  \n\nRegister HERE\n  \n\nYou will receive a reminder the week before this event with further information.

SUMMARY:Cahaba Lily Canoe Trip: Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge – May 11\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:When: Sunday\, May 11th\, from 8:00 am to no later than 4:00 pm\nCaravan Meeting Location: Amped Fitness at the Colonnade\, 3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243\nBoat Launch Meeting Location: Canoe Beach at Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge\nDay of event contact: Wil Rainer\, Mobile: (901) 210-7850\nRecommended Donation: $40 per person. Children 12 and under are free. Members\, remember your discount code! \nAvailability: TRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL Email our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer to get added to the waitlist\nYou will need: Brown bag lunch\, at least 1 liter of water\, sun protection\, close-toed water shoes you don’t mind getting wet\nWe will provide: Boats (contact recreation@cahabariversociety.org to inquire about using your own boat)\, paddles\, and life jackets.\nRegistration: TRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL Email our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer to get added to the waitlist\n\n  \nDescription\nJoin us for an unforgettable journey to Hargrove Shoals\, home to the largest known Cahaba Lily shoals in the world\, located within the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge. This guided canoe trip offers a rare opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of these iconic flowers in their natural habitat. \nThe Cahaba lily trip is one of our more physically demanding excursions\, requiring participants to drag their boats across Caffee Shoals on the return trip to the boat launch. As you step out to pull your canoe\, keep in mind that the rocks can be extremely slippery\, so caution is essential. This is why closed-toe shoes are required for all participants. \nDespite the challenge\, the reward is well worth the effort. The sight of the Cahaba lilies in full bloom is truly unforgettable. These resilient flowers are uniquely adapted to life in swift-moving water. Unlike their close relative\, the swamp lily\, which grows in marshes where its seeds can float\, the Cahaba lily’s seeds sink and settle among the foliated rocks of the limestone shoals\, ensuring their survival in the dynamic currents of the Cahaba River. \nWe encourage participants to bring cameras to capture the beauty of the lilies\, but please remember that we will be in the water\, so plan accordingly to protect your gear. This is an experience you won’t want to miss. \n  \nWhat to Expect on Your Guided Canoe Trip\nJoin us for a guided canoe trip through the stunning Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge\, where you’ll experience the beauty of Alabama’s longest free-flowing river and its famous Cahaba lilies. \nMeeting & Departure \n\nOur group will meet at 8:15 AM at Amped Fitness (3427 Colonnade Pkwy\, Birmingham\, AL 35243) to caravan to the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge.\nWe will depart promptly at 8:30 AM. You’re welcome to join the caravan or travel to the refuge on your own.\nIf you’ll be meeting us at the Cahaba Wildlife Refuge\, plan to meet at Canoe Beach by 10:00 AM.\nBe advised that there is limited cell service in the Refuge\, so plan your trip ahead of time.\nPlease notify Wil Rainer at wilr@cahabariversociety.org of your travel plans.\n\nThe Canoe Trip Experience \nThis guided paddle follows a down-and-back route\, made easier by the river’s unique geology. As we navigate the Cahaba: \n\nYou’ll witness the contrast between limestone shoals\, where the Cahaba lilies thrive\, and deep sandstone pools with slower-moving water\, allowing us to paddle back upstream\, returning to our starting point.\nUpon arrival at Hargrove Shoals\, we’ll enjoy a scenic lunch among the lilies (please bring your own brown bag lunch).\n\nImportant Notes \n\nWeather & Water Conditions: Guided trips are subject to weather and river conditions. If there are any changes or cancellations\, we will notify all participants. Due to the brief nature of the lilies’ blooming season\, it is unlikely that a trip will be rescheduled.\n\n  \nWhat to Bring\n\nWater (at least 1 liter)\nLunch\nSunscreen\nSun hat\nClose-toed water shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not protective enough when walking through the shoals. This site shows some of the shoes our team might be wearing. Old tennis shoes also work well.\nPhotography equipment (waterproof bags are recommended for any technology)\n\nYou are welcome to bring a cooler for your water and lunch\, but alcohol is prohibited. \n  \nRegistration:\nTRIP IS CURRENTLY FULL Email our Field Programs Director\, Wil Rainer to get added to the waitlist
