Girlfriends Getaway Weekend, now in its 11th year, has become a signature fall event for Huntsville. Downtown storefronts are adorned in pink, and laughter abounds as women enjoy a variety of activities, shows and shopping.<\/p>\n
Some of the events are already sold out: headliner Sass Jordan, locally produced show The Vagina Monologues the Country Legends Tribute Tour and a cooking demonstration with local chef Jeff Suddaby. But there are plenty of other ways for ladies to find fun this weekend.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the most unique is the Firefighter Femmes Adventure by Find Your Wild. Don firefighting gear and overcome obstacles, play a grown-up game of hide-and-seek or try out a new kind of \u201cescape room\u201d. Find Your Wild also offers the chance to overcome a series of wilderness obstacles the Backcountry Bush Challenge. Both are at the Morgan’s House Bed and Breakfast property east of Huntsville and just a short drive from host resort Deerhurst.<\/p>\n
Or the girls can get creative with artist and quilting workshops. The Huntsville Art Society and More Than Just Art present the Artist Workshop Series with five different ways to play: “paint” a landscape in wool at Watercolour with Wool Workshop with Pam Carnochan, revisit a childhood love of finger painting at the No Brushes Allowed Acrylic Workshop with Linda Harti, connect with your spirit at the Drumming Workshop with Barry (Bazza) Hayward, turn doodles into something beautiful at the Zentangle Workshop with Gill Young, and discover the amazing properties of alcohol inks at the Fluid Inks on Tiles Workshop with Marv Wastle. Or create a quilted landscape in a full-day workshop with Terri Howell and Mary Spring, no sewing experience required!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
