SUMMARY: Hidden River, Hidden Rivers Farm and Hartsell is officially open for the fall season, but drought conditions have negatively impacted attractions like the popular sugar cane maze and pumpkin growth. Co-owner Mary Sidney Rich noted that while recent rain has helped, it’s not sufficient to restore normal growth levels. She likened the situation to watering a lawn—one good rain isn’t enough to sustain plants long-term. In response to these challenges, the farm is creating new attractions, including a hay bale maze, while continuing to offer favorites like pony rides, gem mining, and apple canning.

SUMMARY: News 5 is partnering with the Senior Bowl to highlight high school football talent along the Gulf Coast. This week‘s Senior Bowl Spotlight features Bob Meeks, an offensive lineman from Hillcrest Evergreen, who played in the 1992 Senior Bowl. After a successful career at Auburn, where his team shared the national championship with Alabama and Tennessee in 1989, Meeks was drafted by the Denver Broncos and played alongside NFL Hall of Famer John Elway. The 1992 Senior Bowl, however, was noted for its harsh weather conditions, being extremely cold, rainy, and windy.

This week, an extension of our Game of the Week, we’re featuring Hillcrest-Evergreen alumnus Bob Meeks.
