t h e great al aba ma Homecoming 215 towns welcome y’all in 2010. ™ The Great Alabama Homecoming Some 215 towns across Alabama welcome you home this year during the Great Alabama Homecoming. It’s all part of the Year of Alabama Small Towns & Downtowns - a celebration of everything that is Sweet Home Alabama. Northport Remember to enjoy some good old-fashioned Southern cuisine along the way. Sample local favorites like the barbeque chicken with white sauce at Big Bob Gibson BBQ in Decatur, the orange rolls at the All Steak in Cullman, banana pudding at Sisters in Troy, and the royal red shrimp at King Neptune’s in Gulf Shores. If you’ve never visited Alabama then this is the perfect year to make your first trip and experience Sweet Home Alabama. Huggin’ Molly’s - Abbeville There are homecoming events and festivals going on practically every weekend from mid-March through mid-December. Special homecoming events like the Ashland Homecoming Weekend, Clayton Homecoming, Celebrate Guntersville, the Monroeville Reunion, and Talladega’s 175th Birthday Bash.
