I can't get over how Spanish Fort is growing! I'm out looking at a brand new neighborhood, The Highlands at Spanish Fort, just getting started. It has room for 37 homes. I can't wait to see the first house get started!

Girls Spanish Fort 12U Allstars Softball Team won the State Championship and came in second in the World Series! I like to see my local teams do well. There is a lot of outdoor activities going on for kids all year long!

What an addition to Spanish Fort! A new area features a splash pad, exercise areas, horseshoe pits, playground equipment and a large pavilion with picnic tables. A great place for the whole family.

It's also time to get out the rubber boots and bags! Alabama Coastal Clean Up Weekend is almost here. It's a time for everyone who uses our pristine waterways and delta to help clean up the coast. It's the least we can do for all the enjoyment and beauty our area rivers and bays give us every day.

Located just North on Highway 225 in Spanish Fort, with Bay Minette Basin behind you and the Blakely River in front of you. Catch a rare glimpse of Mobile's Skyline!

Season in the Sun Farm hosts a five to seven course dinner prepared by local chefs using only local fresh meats, fruits and veggies several times a year. It's an amazing evening! Located on Jenkins Pit Rd in Spanish Fort, it's a way to know your farmer and know your food. The learning center offers classes on all kinds of farming and food preservation, not to mention you can sign up for a weekly basket of fresh organically grown fruit and veggies.

Oak trees that stood during the 1800's, still grace the site of the old town square. Very little has changed since then. The old redoubts still stand in an area of the park where the last battle of the Civil War was fought. Hiking trails take you along the Blakeley River. Lots to explore!

I passed by the USS Alabama late yesterday, an impressive sight at dusk. It made me remember being a young school kid and donating money to bring it home. The park has grown quite a bit since then. It's one of Alabama's most popular attractions and it's in our backyard!

Recent changes in the Spanish Fort fire department's rating could spell savings on your homeowners' insurance. In early February, Spanish Fort Fire Rescue announced that its rating had improved to a Class 3 ISO Rating and suggested that homeowners contact their insurance companies to make sure they realized the savings. One Spanish Fort resident reported a savings of $315 a year due to the new rating.
After contacting several insurance agents, I found that:
-- Some agents were already aware of the change; others, not. So you will want to make sure your insurance carrier is aware of it.
-- One agent said there would be no change since any rating below a 4 enjoyed the best rates.
-- Glen Gorowsky, an independent agent, said the rating applies to a 5-mile radius around the fire department.
-- And finally, a rep for the insurer of my personal home says I should save some money, but the change won't go through until my late spring renewal date. I won't know how much I may save until then.
