Alabama Community Board
Events, food trucks, fundraisers, school updates, and public community notices organized for Northwest Alabama.
The community board is the non-emergency side of Alabama Scanner: local context, public events, and useful community notices that do not belong in scanner alerts.

Community Events
Submit an Event or Food Truck Stop
Know about a local event, fundraiser, or food truck setup? Send broad public details and a source link so it can be reviewed before appearing on the board.
How local updates are selected
The board is meant for useful public events and community notices, not private posts or unverified claims.
Local events and practical community updates
The Alabama Community Board is for public local information that helps people plan around Marion County, Lamar County, Winston County, and nearby Northwest Alabama towns. Useful submissions include fundraisers, school events, civic meetings, public food truck stops, weather-related community notices, benefit events, and public service updates.
Events are curated before publication
Events may come from public posts, direct messages, or local submissions. Alabama Scanner Network organizes them into a searchable board with broad map placement when a useful public location is available. Private gatherings, unverified claims, and events without enough local context may be skipped.
Always verify details with the organizer
Times, venues, weather plans, food truck schedules, and fundraiser details can change. Use this page as a local discovery tool, then check the organizer, school, city, business, church, or event source before driving across town or across county lines.
Community plans can change quickly
If watches, warnings, road hazards, or scanner activity are active, check the organizer and the Weather Center before attending. Alabama Scanner may keep an event listed for discovery even when the final decision belongs to the organizer.
