DISCLAIMER NOTICE Works by current and past art teachers are on display at the Mountain Valley Arts Council gallery, including “Dragonflies on Green” by Vicki Dodd and “Ballet in Black & White” by Charlie Leverett. But with coronavirus pandemic numbers still growing in Alabama, the state’s mandatory face mask order remains in place as GLM went to press. Some big annual events, such as the Guntersville Lions Club car show, have been canceled. Others, such as Marshall Medical Center’s Pink Pumpkin Run, remained in limbo. What’s more, while still planned at deadline, all of the events listed in Good Fun are tentative.
