• Dog Days Flea Market
  If you like treasure hunting, then you'll love checking out a flea market on the weekends. Dog Days Flea Market sits on over 100 acres on land on an open field in Ardmore, Tennessee, just over the Alabama state line. The flea market actually started in the 1940's as a place where hunters would meet on Mondays to let their hunting dogs run in the woods and trade dogs; hence, the name: Dog Days. A lot of things have changed since those first days and crowds on Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends make it one of the largest flea markets around. It's open every Sunday and Monday. Head out Hwy 53 (Jordan Lane) out of Huntsville to get to Dog Days Flea Market.

Overnight lows will dip well into the 50s. All of the college football games involving many of our local teams are looking great. More on those in a bit...

• Huntsville Insider Info
  Here's some things I learned in Huntsville this week:
  • My editor in New York sent me this link about Huntsville. A Channel 48 newscast has one viral on YouTube. This interview has been converted into an Auto-tuned song that is now for sale on itunes--even tshirts are being made about this brother/hero. It's serious, but very funny, too. Check it out.
  • There will be a llama and alpaca show at the A & M Agribition Center on Moores Mill Road, beginning at 8 a.m. on September 4, Saturday. There will be 49 llamas and 21 alpacas shown. The Admission is free.
  • Scarecrow Trail Opens THIS Weekend at Huntsville Botanical Garden. The Scarecrows are arriving daily and they've gone Hollywood, from Jack Scare-ow to film producer Martin "Scare"-cese, these famous 'crows are sure to entertain star-gazers of all ages. The newest addition to the Scarecrow Trail: Hay Bale Art--plus old favorites, the sorghum maze and hay rides on the weekends. Hay rides on Saturdays: 10 am - 4 pm and on Sundays: 1 pm - 4 pm.
  • I found this in my About.com Google newsletter: Free Phone Calls From Gmail. Read more...

    On the weather map...Looks like we're in for an excellent weekend weatherwise as the heat wave of 2010 has finally been broken. High pressure will be in firm control as slightly cooler air, along with much drier air has worked into the Tennessee Valley. While afternoon temperatures will still hang around 90 through the weekend, it will feel much cooler with the dry air. Chance of rain this weekend is zero...so get out & enjoy the taste of fall in the air!
    
    My official Tennessee Valley extended weekend forecast...
    
    For Friday...Sunny. High 88.
    Friday Night...Clear. Low 65.
    Saturday...Sunny. High 89.
    Saturday Night...Clear. Low 66.
    Sunday...Sunny. High 90.
    
    Have a great weekend everyone!
