Memorial Day Celebration: American Village
2017-05-29 10:00 - 15:00 UTC | American Village, 3727 Highway 119, Montevallo, AL, 35115
Help remember, honor and thank America’s veterans and active military. Many gave the last full measure of devotion for the liberties of this Nation. Tour the National Veterans Shrine and Register of Honor and experience the stories of our veterans who have borne the burden of the toils of war and keeping the peace.
Who are they, what did they do for our country, what do we owe them?
These are the everyday heroes who are in our families, churches, and communities. They live modest lives, most feel they did nothing extraordinary, and they seek no special recognition for doing their duty. Yet each of them was prepared to give their all.
Every one of these heroes – these veterans – is someone’s child. They came from all walks of life to answer our country’s call. They served in war and peace; lives were changed. They became a band of brothers, and sisters. They all have stories that must be told.
We have a full day of activities planned, including historical vignettes, musical salutes, reenactments, games, ceremonies, a Gold Star Salute to the Fallen, and a wreath laying at the Veterans Shrine.

22nd Annual Rickwood Classic
2017-05-31 12:30 - 16:30 | Regions Field, 1401 1st Avenue S, Birmingham, 35233
** Historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, the country’s oldest ballpark, has been closed for repairs. This years classic will be held at Regions Field.
The annual game is set for Wednesday, May 31st at 12:30 p.m. and will celebrate “The Fabulous Fifties.” The game will feature the Birmingham Barons against the Chattanooga Lookouts, Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Former MLB All-Star and Baseball Hall of Famer Juan Marichal will be the special guest of honor and will be available for autographs during the game.
In celebrating “The Fabulous Fifties” the Barons will honor the four-year affiliation with the New York Yankees from 1953-56. The Barons were a combined 328-285 over that span led by skippers Mayo Smith and Phil Page for two-seasons each. While they did not qualify for the playoffs, they did finish with a record above .500 in all four seasons. During the 1956 campaign Barons records were set by pitcher Wilson Parsons with 33 starts and infielder Milton Graff with 653 at-bats in one season. Over the years Yankee legends such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Casey Stengel, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra appeared at Rickwood Field as part of exhibition games held at the ballpark.
The Barons will wear throwback uniforms from the 1953-56 seasons featuring a gray jersey with Birmingham across the chest in Yankee blue, the iconic Yankee logo on the right sleeve, and Yankee blue numbers on the back. The team will also wear special gray caps with blue bills and a blue B on it.
