Snowbirds welcomed by numerous local events in Baldwin County - al.com: "Winter guests from the Midwest and some Canadian residents have arrived on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, giving a boom to the local economy.

'These winter guests are a vital part of the area’s offseason economy, and we are honored that they have chosen our beautiful beachfront communities to escape the cold, northern winters,' said Herb Malone, president/CEO of the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau. 'In addition to staying in local accommodations or campgrounds and frequenting restaurants and attractions, they generously donate their time and talent to many worthy causes in the community.'"
