Governor Bob Riley invites you to celebrate your town in 2010 by participating in the
statewide promotion of The Year of Alabama Small Towns & Downtowns.

  • Invite former residents back for a special Homecoming Weekend.
  • Unveil a locally written historic marker on the history of the town.
  • Lead a walking tour of the historic area.
  • Dedicate a completed civic project, such as a new park or restored landmark
    building or other needed public project.


The Alabama Tourism Department will publish an attractive book that features photographs and a brief history of each participating town. The books will be sold in stores all over Alabama.


Submit your celebration date in 2010 by the deadline of December 1, 2008 to be certified as an official "Year of Small Towns and Downtowns" participant.
