‼️ It's Thursday, October 15th, there are Christmas decorations in DG 👀, and the ads are already running, so we gotta settle this:

When do you put up your Christmas decorations?

A) The day after Halloween (Give the Great Pumpkin a chance, Charlie Brown)

B) Thanksgiving weekend (I have standards, really)

C) The second I hear the first Christmas song on the radio (Mariah is warming up the pipes, you just know it)

D) Christmas Eve (I thrive under pressure)

E) Already up. Yes, it’s October. Mind your business.

Drop your letter (and your reasons!) in the comments! 🎄

Have questions about a State Farm dividend email?

State Farm Mutual has teamed up with Verita Global to manage the distribution of $5 billion through a one-time dividend, including customer communications and payments.

That means eligible customers may receive an email from Verita rather than a State Farm email address. Legitimate dividend emails are sent from [email protected] and include information about how to select your payment method.
If you have questions about an email you received visit https://st8.fm/4hUfB17 for more information.

🌬️ Tryin' to reason with hurricane season'

As Isaias moves ashore today, and pushes through the state tomorrow, we're anticipating some wind and rain. The biggest concern for NW Alabama looks to be 25-40mph wind gusts, so here is a list of things to secure before your stuff goes flyin'!
(Meanwhile we'll be over here trying to pronounce 'Isaias' 🧐)

Use bungies or rope to secure these common outdoor items:
1. Patio furniture
2. Toys and play equipment
3. Outdoor grills
4. Garbage cans and recycling bins
5. Potted plants and outdoor décor
6. Gardening tools and lawn maintenance equipment
7. Umbrellas, awnings, and shade structures

If this feels like another place, in another time, it’s because it was. So much has changed since our trip in June of 2001, but these are the images that always make me stop in my tracks. That’s why I keep them close by: A periodic reminder of a kinder, gentler world, and motivation to hang on to the one thing that endures forever: LOVE ❤️

For over 20 years now, we've been proud supporters of the YMCA of the Shoals, and their annual Y Golf Tournament. What started as a sponsorship with my dad showcasing our great North Alabama Athletics teams has turned into one of the great honors of the year for me.

The funds raised help our Y provide affordable childcare, programs for those with special needs, and scholarship programming for families from every walk of life in our area. This is what a State Farm Neighborhood of Good looks like!!!

This year, Coach Jad Prachniak and the North Alabama Baseball coaching staff stepped-up and let 'em know what time it is!
Thanks fellas, and ROAR LIONS! 🦁⚾️
