Alabama News
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
The Fourth of July is one of the holidays a lot of people in Selma like to spend taking advantage of one the area’s biggest attractions. And it has nothing to do with civil rights or the Civil War.
The state of Alabama has 6500 miles of waterways. And two of the state’s 14 major rivers run through the Selma and Dallas County.
The area is home to both the Alabama and Cahaba rivers. And when the heat is on a lot of people head for the waterways.
“Summer’s here in Selma. I’m always on the river. That’s like a fun little thing we have to do here,” said Jane Anne Stewart of Selma.
