🎭 Our FuelAL: River Region interns enjoyed an afternoon of laughter, culture, and community last Sunday at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival's production of Chicken & Biscuits by Douglas Lyons!

This hit Broadway comedy delivered plenty of laughs while showcasing the power of storytelling and live theater. Experiences like these give interns the opportunity to explore the vibrant arts and cultural assets that make the River Region a great place to live, work, and build a future.

The outing also gave interns the chance to experience one of Montgomery's premier cultural attractions while connecting with fellow interns and discovering more of what makes our region unique.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It stands as an important reminder of our nation's journey toward a more perfect union and the ongoing pursuit of opportunity for all.

In Montgomery, we are uniquely connected to this history. As Alabama's Capital City, Montgomery has been the setting for pivotal moments that have shaped our nation, from the Civil Rights Movement to ongoing efforts that advance understanding, equality, and opportunity. These stories continue to inspire meaningful conversations and progress throughout our community.

The Montgomery Regional Chamber joins communities across the country in honoring the significance of Juneteenth and reflecting on the values of freedom, unity, and shared opportunity that help move our region forward!

FuelAL River Region interns enjoyed an evening of baseball, networking, and community connection Thursday night as they attended the Montgomery Biscuits game against the Knoxville Smokies! ⚾

The event brought interns together outside of the workplace, giving them the opportunity to strengthen relationships, meet participants from other companies, and experience one of the River Region's most popular summer traditions.

Experiences like these are an important part of FuelAL's mission to help interns engage with the community beyond their internships, discover what makes the River Region unique, and build lasting connections that extend well beyond the summer!
