August 31 saw the first football game of the 2007 season get underway at Bates Memorial Stadium in Enterprise, AL. After the March 2006 tornado destroyed school and heavily damaged the stadium, the game was a welcome symbol of the rebuilding process. Generous donations helped rebuild the stadium in time for football season, including a donation from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in the amount of $50,000 back in June.
We think that's a neat gift. The regional vide president of the Atlanta-based company said, "We share more than a name with this city. We've shared our community's pain these past few months, and we're proud to share its hopes for the future. This gift from our Foundation comes with good wishes from my company's more -than 65,000 employees and especially from those of us who call this community home."
An Enterprise High School football game would not be complete without the award winning Big Blue Band. And even though Mother Nature was not cooperating that night, the band, the football team and all of the fans showed a lot of heart by braving the thunderstorm.
Fort Rucker's heart was there too. As the game began, a UH-1 Huey flyover salute by the pilots from the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation brought tears to many people's eyes. Those helicopters were on hand to transport injured storm victims back in March and the citizens of Enterprise will always be grateful for their good neighbors.
Don't let all this storm talk fool you. There are many wonderful homes for sale in Enterprise right now. Give our site a look and you'll see for yourself!
