Happy weekend, Dothan!Â
In today’s happening-today edition: Adult Easter egg hunt, a mega car and audio show, a wild 11,500-square-foot estate, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Alabama drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

đź“° In the news
Local agency earns acclaim: Enhabit Home Health in Dothan earned a 4.5 out of 5 rating from U.S. News for quality care and patient satisfaction, with strong mobility outcomes and timely care — get all the details.
Big prizes up for grabs: An adult Easter egg hunt will take place April 4 at Westgate Tennis Center, with 800 eggs, VIP perks through the Egg and Spoon Race, and tickets from $30 — see pricing and VIP info.
District expands enrollment pathways: Houston County Schools has joined Alabama’s CHOOSE Act providers, accepting eligible out-of-zone students. Tuition is $2,000 for a first child and $1,500 for a second — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

đź’Ž Local business spotlight
Color your week: Feeling screen-fatigued? The Art Circle teaches kids, teens, and adults through a timeline of great artists and movements, with homeschool and after-school options. Expect real skill-building, mixed media, and a brain refresh that won’t coat your kitchen in glitter.
Subtle glow-up, big mood: Whether you want a core boost with Emsculpt NEO, skin remodeling from Morpheus8 or Lumecca, or a results-driven facial, The Med Spa Dothan personalizes care inside Dothan Eye Care, so your skin goals feel realistic, not overwhelming.
Fresh‑air flex break: When your brain needs out‑of‑office, take a lap at Walton Woods Disc Golf Course. Wooded fairways, concrete tees, and Mach X baskets keep things legit without leaving town. Ideal for a quick after‑work toss or that inevitable “one more hole” weekend vibe.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
