Valley Head welcomes back its fourth annual Memories of Mayberry Festival on Saturday, May 1 at the Valley Head Town Square. Festivities start at 9 a.m. and admission is free. The event will feature entertainment for the whole family including arts and crafts, various food vendors, pony rides, childrenâs train rides, balloon artist, slide and a bouncy house. The festival has grown to be the Valley Head Volunteer Fire Departmentâs biggest fundraiser. Since 2017, the town has welcomed festival-goers to an evening of nostalgia transporting attendees to the era of The Andy Griffith Show, complete with impersonations of the showâs iconic characters Barney Fife, Floy Lawson the barber and Otis Campbell the town drunk.
In response to the global Covid-19 pandemic, TVA began administering the Community Care Fund in April, 2020, which provided matching grant funds to support and partner with Local Power Companies (LPCs) to meet needs in their communities. As the pandemic continues, TVA anticipates its impacts will continue to affect the Valley through Fiscal Year 2021. As a result, TVA added additional funding to the matching grant fund to be applied for by the LPCs. Sand Mountain Electric Cooperative announces the second phase of its partnership with Tennessee Valley Authority and the Community Care Fund. Together they are providing $20,000 to the Community Action Agency of Northeast Alabama (CAANEAL) to help members with utility bills and food during this continued crisis. This amount is in addition to the $20,000 that was provided to CAANEAL last spring. For 80 years, SMEC has been proud to serve the electric needs of its members. They hope through the care fund they can continue helping with the needs that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
