According to Sweet Trails Alabama, at each stop, guests will get to hear from local speakers about their visions for strengthening community bonds and creating new opportunities in "health and wellness, tourism, economic development, entrepreneurial growth, quality of life, workforce development, community engagement, and natural resource conservation."
The Sweet Trails Alabama Tour is presented in conjunction with Singing River Trail and Jacksonville State University. Singing River Trail is a 200+ greenway project across North Alabama.
