Hello, Readers! I’m back with this week’s edition of “What’s Up in Odenville.”

Remember what I said last week about how Mother Nature will not defeat me? Forget I said that.

Let’s get to the news.

My prayers have been answered! It’s official—back by popular demand, Louie’s Pickles and Italian Deli will re-open Monday, April 3.

“We have received so many messages from customers asking us to open back up because they missed Louie’s” said owner Lou Consoli. “Becky and I are so humbled that you care about us so much. We are proud of your support and love you guys. Even a couple of the local restaurants have expressed their concern about us closing—giving us much love. We look forward to seeing everyone in a couple weeks. We love ya!”

The Odenville Youth Athletic Association (OYAA) Pre-Season Baseball Tournament is underway. Admission for ages 12 and up is $5 per day; 11 and under is free. Please come out and support our youth!

OYAA will also host a Spring Fling Saturday, April 1 to coincide with Opening Day of baseball and softball season. Activities will include baseball and softball games, craft and food vendors, inflatables, face painting, Knocker Ball, karaoke, and horse rides. There will also be a drawing for a vacation package. The entire community is invited to a great day of fun. For more in for call Marlon at (205) 540-8074 or go to www.odenvilleyouth.com.

The Ashville Spirit Club will host a car show and live auction Saturday April 8th in the parking lot of Piggly Wiggly on 231 in Ashville. For more information contact Hobart McClendon at (334) 444-4192.
