The teaser video above is promoting Calhoun County's new tourism brand.

From the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce:

The Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce hopes to encourage tourists to take part in the natural attractions that the area has to offer with the launch of their new tourism brand for Calhoun County: Visit Calhoun County. The tourism brand will be revealed December 6, 2012 at the Anniston Natural History Museum.

Ebonee Thompson, Tourism and Marketing Director for Visit Calhoun County/Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce, said,

Thousands of cyclists and enthusiasts crowded downtown Anniston Saturday to enjoy a growing tradition: the Sunny King Criterium Bike Races and Noble Street Festival.

The two adjacent events shut down much of downtown to motorized traffic, except for two motor scooters and a Ford Mustang pace car that leads the cyclists.  Otherwise, it's all pedal power all the way.

Cyclists come from all over the southeast, and in many cases from throughout the country and even throughout the world.  Anniston, in fact, is part of a national tour that includes Boston and Tampa, and is the smallest city on that tour.

Matthew Johnson of Jacksonville finished 15th in his amateur heat shortly after the races kicked off at noon.

"It's really professionally put on, attracts a lot of riders from all over the state and the southeast, and it would be very few places where you'd go and seen an event this large with bicycles," Johnson told Fox6.

If you're interested in geocaching and enjoy exploring, there's an Alabama State Parks Geocaching Challenge that kicks off this weekend at the Lakepoint Resort State Park in Eufaula. The challenge will take participants to all 22 state parks and across 1,300 miles.

"Each cache will be kid friendly and have a first finders prize," the website says. Those who complete the entire challenge will receive a trackable geocaching coin as a prize. Visit www.alapark.com or call 1-800-ALAPARK for details.
