Orange Beach, Alabama, may be best known for its fishing and beautiful white beaches. But this week it also boasts a family movie, baseball tournament and tennis matches.

In addition to beautiful beaches, Orange Beach has plenty of non-beach events to enjoy.

Starting Wednesday, July 6, the USSSA Baseball World Series 9–14 teams will play at Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Foley diamonds. Approximately 150 teams will compete to reach the July 9 Bracket Games and then the July 10 Championship Games. Check out the USSSA website for each day’s schedule. It is open to the public at no charge. This is the Session I tournament; Session II runs July 13–17.

On Thursday evening, July 7, the Orange Beach Public Library will host the popular PG-rated family movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Popcorn will be supplied at this free event, but you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks. The movie will be shown from 5:30 until 7:15.

Tennis fans will enjoy the NTRP Combo Classic on Saturday, July 9. More than 80 players from the Southeast will compete in this national ratings challenge. You may participate for a fee of $23, or observers are welcome to enjoy the games at no charge at the Orange Beach Tennis Center.

So if you are in the Orange Beach area this week and are looking for non-beach activities, these would certainly fit the bill. Squeeze in as much fun as you can without worry, as there will still be plenty of new experiences available for your next visit!

Grateful Dead: Alive Again

Monday, April 18th, 2011

One night only! The classic rockumentary The Grateful Dead Movie Event is making a reappearance with an engagement at Cobb Pinnacle 14 in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We’re not the only area showing this—there are 540 theaters across the nation carrying this special presentation—but we’re thrilled that a local outlet is making it available to our many resident and visiting Dead Heads.

The rollback of time begins at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Jerry Garcia and crew will explode onto the big screen as they were seen at the height of their stardom almost 40 years ago. But this isn’t exactly the same reel shown way back when—by attending this showing, you will be part of an exclusive group to enjoy never-before-seen interviews with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir!

The last wide theatrical distribution was 1977, when it was first aired. Filming took place at San Francisco’s Winterland Arena in October 1974. (Were you or a friend or family member in that audience? Be sure to watch the crowd shots closely . . . )

Tickets for the one-night event are $12.50 and can be purchased at the Cobb Pinnacle 14 box office or online at www.FathomEvents.com. Don’t miss your chance to experience or relive the Dead Head cult phenomenon.
