This one-day event aims to find loving homes for as many of the current Dothan Animal Shelter pets as possible before the shelter transitions to Wiregrass Pets in the coming weeks.

Location: Wiregrass Pets, 2638 Hartford Hwy, Dothan, AL 36305
Adoptions: Same-day adoptions available, standard adoption fees and requirements apply.

All pets available at the event are from the current Dothan Animal Shelter and will be ready to go home that same day. Adoption counselors will be on site to help match each pet with the perfect family.

For more information on the event, adoption requirements, or to view available pets, please contact info@wiregrasspets.org or follow Wiregrass Pets on Facebook and Instagram.

Disclaimer: The pets available at the Clear the Shelter Adoption Event on September 13, 2025 are from the current Dothan Animal Shelter. They do not yet officially belong to Wiregrass Pets.

However, Wiregrass Pets is hosting this event on our property to support these animals in finding homes as quickly as possible before the transition.

Brick Masters LEGO Set Building (Ages 10+ and Over 19)

10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Need to Lego of a little stress? Join us and other brick enthusiasts at Brick Masters!

Register with a group of friends or family members or just yourself.

While this event is free and open to the public, we ask that you keep a few things in mind so that this is an enjoyable experience for our participants:

Everyone who participates needs to be registered in their name so we can plan appropriately and have enough sets available. If you are not registered, you will not be permitted inside the programming room.

This event is only for ages 10 and up, and we’ll be building various sets at this event. The library offers a different Lego Club monthly for patrons who are not old enough for this event.

All building sets will be provided and will remain at the library when completed.

Some of our sets are basic, and some are more detailed. Because of this, we’ve set aside two hours for the event. Don’t feel pressured to stay the entire time.

If your child is under the age of 13, per library policy, the parent or adult caregiver must stay with the child at all times during your library visit.

No experience is required, and there is no pressure for skill; just bring your creativity and willingness to have fun.

Boris and the Joy/ The Paris Monster

7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

The Thirsty Pig will be open later tonight for this amazing event! We have 2 nationally touring bands based out of NYC taking the PigPen stage and giving you a couple hours of amazing music that has never been seen or heard before in the Wiregrass. The show is free and all ages are welcome (though there may be language in some songs that isn’t appropriate for small children).

The opening act, Boris and the Joy, is probably the first Russian Born act on the Thirsty Pig stage, and will go on stage at 7PM. Boris & the Joy’s flexible indie-folk-electro-pop stylings shimmer with psychedelic undertones, soul-baring lyrics and intimate incantations of love and hope. With an acoustic, electric guitar and equal parts tender and surreal vocals, this project reflects the beauty and pain experienced in the journey of profound transformation.

Boris, the Ukrainian/Russian singer, composer and guitar player has toured the world as the guitarist of gypsy-punk band Gogol Bordello for a decade and fronting his own unit Hey Guy. His life’s journey and the philosophy of joy are the fibers of the emotionally colorful Boris & the Joy

The Paris Monster will take the stage around 8:00. Paris Monster is a duo out of Brooklyn, New York. They combine soulful vocals with sparse, linear drumming; fuzzed out bass with grinding synth; all atop a “eurorack” modular synth backdrop. If you’re wondering how a duo can cover vocals, drums, synth, bass, and extra synths, that’s because Josh Dion covers vocals, drums, and synth all at once, while Geoff Kraly handles the bass and sequencing the eurorack. If you only heard their music, you would have no idea of the musical economy at play, but to see it in action is as humbling as it is thrilling.

Initially, it would be tempting to focus only on Josh Dion, and the remarkable feat that he is accomplishing by absolutely jamming on the drums, synths, and vocals (complete with diva-esque hand gestures — the guy is into it), but to ignore Geoff Kraly would be criminal. His bass lines are catchy, memorable, and grooving. He spends as much time on the upper octave of his bass as he does in the lower, filling double duty, covering the sonic landscape that would normally be covered by guitar, before descending back into the bass register. On top of that, he is responsible for sequencing the modular synths that provide an extra layer of depth and texture to the soundscape. Finally, he serves as the band’s lyricist, and the lyrical content is excellent.

Listening to and observing this duo is a masterclass in musical economy. Between the two of them, they are covering a lot of ground, but there is nothing “busy” about it. Every piece, every layer, is the product of intentional thought.

This show is free to the public due to the support and generosity of The Thirsty Pig, Live at the Opera and Reset Mercantile.

The Questival: A Family Faire-tale at Folklore

11:00 am to 3:00 pm

Step into a realm where fantasy meets festivity at the ultimate RPG-style Renaissance Faire! This immersive adventure isn’t just a stroll through medieval merriment—it’s a journey where you are the hero.

Upon entry, you’re given a character role—be it a daring knight, a cunning rogue, a mystical sorcerer, or a charming bard. Each choice shapes your path through the faire, as you embark on quests, solve riddles, and build alliances with other attendees. NPCs (non-playable characters) roam the grounds, offering challenges, rewards, and secrets that deepen the lore of the realm.

The faire is alive with interactive elements: bustling marketplace stalls selling enchanted trinkets, and spellbinding performances that unfold the story of a kingdom in peril. The tavern offers sustenance fit for heroes, with frothy brews served alongside whispers of hidden treasures and ancient prophecies.

Whether you’re completing your character’s personal storyline, joining forces to vanquish a villian, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of this living, breathing fantasy world, the RPG-style ren faire offers an unforgettable escape.

Gather your party, don your armor (or your best period costume), and prepare for a day where you don’t just watch the story—you become the story!

This event is all ages, and is free! Join us for an afternoon of whimsical fun!

We are still accepting vendor applications—Email wiregrassttrpg@gmail for more info!

Vol 16: Dungeon Crawler Carl

2:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Sept’s book theme was Sci-Fi and the nomination that won at today’s meeting was Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. It’s available on Kindle Unlimited, and the audiobook is available on Spotify with a premium subscription.

Short synopsis of the book: Earth is destroyed overnight, and the only way to survive is to dive headfirst into the most brutal, live-streamed dungeon crawl in the universe. Carl, armed with nothing but boxer briefs, a cat named Princess Donut, and sheer stubbornness, must fight monsters, dodge traps, and outwit alien audiences who are betting on his every move. It’s snarky, gory, hilarious, and full of dungeon-delving chaos.

JJ Grey & Mofro: Olustee Tour with Miles Miller

7:30 pm to 10:30 pm

Steve Hall Productions Present
JJ Grey & Mofro: Olustee Tour
at The Plant in Dothan, AL
Oct 9th | Gates 6:00p | Show 7:30p

www.jjgrey.com
www.facebook.com/MOFROBAND
www.instagram.com/jjgreymusic
www.youtube.com/JJGreyMusic
www.tiktok.com/@jjgreymusic
www.soundcloud.com/jj-grey-mofro
www.pandora.com/artist/jj-grey-and-mofro/AR6lmj4zPvp6klk

According to musician, singer and songwriter JJ Grey, “The best songs I’ve ever written, I never wrote. They wrote themselves. The best show I ever played, played itself and had little to do with me or talent. To me, those things come from the power of an honest moment, and I guess I’m trying to live in that power and not force life to cough up what I want.”

Since his first album, Blackwater, back in 2001, Grey has been releasing deeply moving, masterfully written, funkified rock and front porch Southern soul music. Now, with his new album, Olustee – his tenth and first in nine years, and the first he has self-produced – Grey is back, singing his personal stories with universal themes of redemption, rebirth, hard luck, and inner peace. With his music, Grey also celebrates good times with lifelong friends, oftentimes mixing the carnal with the cerebral in the very same song. Fueled by his vividly detailed, timeless originals spun from his own life and experiences in the Northern Florida swampland, Grey’s gritty baritone drips with honest passion and testifies with a preacher’s foot-pounding fervor.

With Olustee, JJ Grey has once again pushed the boundaries of his own creative musical, lyrical and vocal talents, delivering an album that is destined to become a stone-cold classic. Many of the songs are all steeped in the mythical Southern stories of his ancestral Florida home and filled with people from JJ’s life. The songs overflow with the sights and sounds of the region as told through the eyes of a poet and sung with pure, unvarnished soul. The album’s ten songs range from the introspective opener The Sea to the raucous, celebratory first radio single, Wonderland, to an escape from an out-of-control wildfire in the title track, to the inward-looking closer, Deeper Than Belief. Singing of his own personal triumphs and struggles, his hopes and desires, his friends and family, Grey’s message is simple and strong: respect the natural world and always try to live in the moment. And never forget the importance of having a good time.

Grey made his recording debut in 2001 with Blackwater, following up in 2004 with Lochloosa. Both albums were released on the Fog City label under the name Mofro, a moniker the young Grey chose to describe his music and sound while still working his day job at a lumberyard. He has since used the word to name his band of world-class players. In 2007, Grey signed with Alligator Records and released a string of five popular and successful albums: Country Ghetto, 2008’s Orange Blossoms, 2010’s Georgia Warhorse, 2011’s live CD/DVD Brighter Days and 2013’s This River. Ol’ Glory was released on the Provogue label in 2015. Throughout this amazing run of releases, press, radio and years of touring helped catapult JJ Grey & Mofro further into the mainstream.

JJ Grey & Mofro have played countless festivals, including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Austin City Limits Festival, Byron Bay Blues Festival (Australia), Montreal Jazz Festival and Fuji Rock (Japan). Over the course of his career, Grey has shared stages with the likes of Lenny Kravitz, B.B. King, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Los Lobos, Jeff Beck, Ben Harper, Booker T. Jones, Mavis Staples, and many others. Grey and his band continue to play over 75 shows a year across the U.S. and around the world.

JJ’s songs have appeared in films and on television, including on House Of Cards, Criminal Minds, Bones, House, Flashpoint, Crash, Friday Night Lights, The Glades, The Deadliest Catch and in films including The Hoot and The Gray Man. In November 2009, JJ wrote his first film score for the critically-acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning documentary The Good Soldier, which appeared in theatres and on Bill Moyers Journal on PBS.

Grey, an avid outdoorsman, is a dedicated fisherman, a skilled visual artist (he has designed and drawn the cover art on all of his albums), an avid surfer and he holds an honorary position on the board of the Angler Action Foundation, dedicated to the protection of coastal fish and fish habitat. He has written passionately and articulately about his love for the untrammeled environment of his North Florida home and continues to advocate for its preservation.

From his early days playing cover music behind chicken wire at a west side Jacksonville juke joint, to playing sold-out shows at some of the largest venues and music festivals in the world, JJ Grey has always delivered his soul-honest truths. Now, with Olustee, JJ Grey & Mofro will bring their music directly to fans as they hit the road for a massive months-long tour across the country and throughout the world. AllMusic says JJ Grey’s music is “as authentic as the ground under your feet because that’s where it comes from — just before it moves, simply and directly, through the body of the listener, into the human heart.”

Kindermusik

10:00 am to 11:00 am

Erin Joye will be offering a ‘mommy and me’ Kindermusik playdate at the Westgate Branch. Bring your infant ages 0-2 years for a fun-filled class of music and movement specifically designed for your growing baby.

TAYLER HOLDER:
TikTok sensation and the platform’s most-followed country music artist, Tayler Holder, is set to ignite the charts once again with his highly anticipated new single, “Dyin’ Flame.” Dropping November 22nd, this heartfelt track takes listeners on a journey through the struggles of a fading relationship, weaving together country storytelling with a pop sensibility. “Dyin’ Flame” resonates with the singer-songwriter’s signature blend of powerful guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and anthemic vocals, delivered with the raw, emotive energy fans have come to love.
Holder shares, “I wrote this song about a relationship that both sides know won’t work but they don’t want to give up on it which is why I give the comparison of ‘throwing matches at a dyin’ flame’ in the same sense of trying to restart something that is clearly burning out, this song represents that to a T. I got to write this song with some amazing writers by the names of Beau Bailey, Graham Barham and Dallas Wilson. Through the process of creating this song, I feel I found my sound with these lyrics and this track and I am extremely excited to share this song with you.”
Coming on the heels of chart-topping singles like “Nothin’ But Neon,” “Someone You Knew,” and “Climb My Way to Heaven”—a powerful duet with Christian music icon Cory Asbury—“Dyin’ Flame” showcases Holder’s unique blend of country and pop. Fans were treated to exclusive performances and signings from Holder at CMAFest 2024 in June, including sets at HOLY! WATER, Country Goes Global, and the Good Molecules Reverb Stage at Bridgestone Arena, along with multiple signings at Nashville Universe, CreatiVets, and the CMA Booth.
Holder who has had an exciting entre into the country music scene with a lot of accolades has been enjoying the light shown of acceptance within the space. He has amassed over 30 million fans across all his social media platforms, on his ride into his country music journey. Holder, fresh in the industry, has transitioned as an influencer seamlessly to a budding country music star. “I am very thankful that I have been welcomed by the Nashville Community and industry alike. I am humbled every day for the continued support, and I want to keep on bringing the best I have for the people that have championed me.”
Speaking of accolades, PEOPLE MAGAZINE boasts, “Holder gives listeners a taste of the sound that just might infiltrate the Nashville music scene very soon. But as impressive as his voice is, it may be his vulnerability that will make him downright irresistible to an audience craving a brand-new male superstar.”
Outside of music, many may know Holder from his viral success on TikTok where he has nearly 20 million followers. Growing up outside of Dallas in a small town called Alvarado, TX. Tayler Holder has always been an entertainer. At the age of 3 Tayler began racing and competing in motocross, a passion that Tayler still holds to this day, but now more of a hobby than a profession. After finishing High School via homeschooling Tayler moved out to California to follow his dreams to be an entertainer, and starting to create content for Instagram and Musical.ly, quickly growing his popularity on the platforms with his viral lip sync videos as well as his daily lifestyle content. Soon after that Tayler branched out into the world of acting with the online series DIRT where Tayler played the main character Luke who deals with love, and addiction as well as tapping into Tayler’s first love in motocross. After joining TikTok, Tayler quickly grew to millions of followers on the platform, continuing to create viral content. Today, Tayler Holder continues to create lifestyle content for his fans on social media, but he is now focusing most of his energy on his music career as things are quickly taking off for this talented singer-songwriter. Stay tuned to Tayler’s socials below for more updates on releases as well as upcoming tour dates.
