Children's Discovery Garden to open at Discovery Park

Officials at Discovery Park of America are announcing the largest expansion that the park has had since it opened in November of 2013 with the addition of a Children's Discovery Garden, with an expected cost of over one-half million dollars. 
     "I'm excited," said CEO Jim Rippy.  "I think this is one of the biggest improvements we have made," he added.
     The Children's Discovery Garden will be located on the North side of the property, just over the bridge to the right and will be over 23,000 square feet of space where children can learn, explore, romp, and play.  "This has been the number one request that we have gotten from our visitors," Rippy explained.  "We expect that the Children's Discovery Garden will attract new visitors, increase memberships, provide additional space for children to learn and engage, while give our members an additional reason to visit the park more often during the year," he added.
       Ground's Director John Watkins has bene tasked with the challenge of creating the Children's Discovery Garden and turning this dream into a reality.  Watkins has been researching, visiting other children's spaces and talking with professionals for over a year now.  "When I connected with Landscape Sculptures, I knew we had found a great partner for our project," Watkins said.  "This company makes some of the most unique, innovative, and creative equipment I have seen anywhere," Watkins went on to say.  "Our sincerest hope is that this Discovery Garden will provide a setting for children and adults to reengage with nature in a fun environment that fosters learning," he said. 
     Discovery Park guests can look forward to winding their way down a very aesthetic, fossil embedded pathway, and finding educational, fun and amusing things to do along the way.  One of the first surprises along the path will be the Rhapsody outdoor musical garden, with giant instruments giving children of all ages an opportunity to experience with rhythm, tone, and the creative combination of sounds. In addition to whimsical landscape sculptures, guests will admire perineal gardens, experience a sensory garden and study the lifecycle of many amphibians in the Discovery Stream flowing through the space.  There will be a new outdoor classroom created with a Labyrinth at center, serving as a great place to conduct outdoor lessons, as well as a meditative pathway for children and adults.  In addition, there will be a place to dig for dinosaur bones, a garden especially designed to attract butterflies and a giant outdoor chess/checker set, providing the opportunity for hours of outdoor sensory experiences. 
     Polly Brasher, Education Director at Discovery Park, states that her department strives to help children see beyond their homes and classrooms into a world of possibilities: possible inventions, possible careers and the possibility for improved lives.  Brasher said, "The Children's Discovery Garden will be a beautiful space where healthful habits of inquisitiveness and exercise take root and possibilities blossom."  She is looking forward to the opportunities that it will provide as it is used as a resource to fulfill the park's mission of serving children.
     But sometimes, a child just needs to be outside playing.  Watkins said that he believes that the garden will provide an interactive and engaging area for children to connect with nature and engage in creative play.  "Over one-third of our country's adolescents are considered obese," Watkins stated.  "In addition to educational areas and aesthetic spaces, we are going to create a great environment for children to expand their social skills and get some exercise with creative and imaginative play.  This is where Landscape Sculptures, Inc. comes into play.  Some of the structures that will be installed on the safe surface and artificial grass include:
  • Omni Spinner
  • Saddle Spinner
  • El Slide
  • Den and Chimney Rocks
  • Corkscrew Net
  • Pinnacle Rock
  • Play Odyssey Treehouse Tower
  • Ascent Rocks
  • Double Swoosh Slide
  • Sky Rail Climber
  • Log Balance Beam
  • Log Steppers
  • Crawl Tunnels
  • Spinners
  • Hillside Rope Climbing Structures
  • Hillside Slides
  • Zip Krooz
     And, Landscape Sculptures, Inc., is designing a giant version of our logo that will rest high above the play area to create shade.  In this space, the Imagination Playground blocks earlier donated by KaBOOM and Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Foundation will find a home as children can build and create with these unique building toys. 
     "The Children's Discovery Garden will be a unique space for children," Rippy said.  And the plan is to have many benches and natural seating spaces available so that caregivers can relax while children explore this garden that will change with the seasons. 
     "We are so thankful to the Kirkland Foundation for providing the funding for the Children's Discovery Garden," Rippy said.  "It is impossible to express the gratitude that everyone who has a part in Discovery Park has for the Kirkland's," he said.  "They just continue to give to this community and to this project and it has an impact on not only our community, but the entire region," he added.
     The impact of tourism generated by Discovery Park on Obion County can actually be measured, as tax revenues increase and new hotels and other businesses begin to develop on the land near Discovery Park.  "People are beginning to make Union City, Reelfoot Lake and this community a destination," Rippy stated.  "It is not unusual to talk with visitors who spent the night at a local hotel and bought a two day pass to the park; or to talk with a camper who spent the night at Reelfoot Lake and the day in Union City.  Area hotels and restaurants express gratitude to Discovery Park employees on a regular basis.  To date, the park has had over 718,000 visitors from all over the United States and many foreign countries. 
     "This new Children's Discovery Garden is just going to make the experience of visiting Discovery Park of America even better for years to come," Rippy added.
     Park officials expect to announce a 'ground breaking' in the near future, with the entire project expected to be complete by the first quarter of 2017. 
       Discovery Park of America is located at 830 Everett Blvd., in Union City, TN and is open 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 Tuesday through Sunday.  It is a unique blend of history and technology, science and fun.  To find out more about Discovery Park of America and upcoming educational and entertaining events, visit the website at www.discoveryparkofamerica.com and click "calendar".

First Citizens National Bank RANKS 
#11 IN BEST BANKS TO WORK FOR IN U.S.
 
For the fourth consecutive year, First Citizens National Bank has been named one of the Best Banks to Work For. First Citizens currently ranks 11th overall for banks across the entire United States.
 
Thefull list will be featured in the September issue of American Banker Magazine and is now available online at www.AmericanBanker.com .
 
The program, which was initiated in 2013 to identify, recognize and honor the best banks to work for in the nation, is a project of American Banker and Best Companies Group. In all, 60 banks achieved "Best Bank" status in this fourth year for the program.
 
To be considered for participation, banks had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
- Have at least 50 employees working in the US;
- Be a Commercial Bank, Thrift, Mutual Association, Mutual Savings Bank, Savings & Loan Association or a Savings Bank.
 
Determining the Best Banks to Work For involved a two-step process.  The first step consisted of evaluating each participating bank's workplace policies, practices, and demographics.  This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation.  The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace.  This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation.  The combined scores determined the top banks and the final ranking.  Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

HASLAM, TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF TOURIST DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCE ANOTHER RECORD-BREAKING YEAR OF ECONOMIC IMPACT NUMBERS
 
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and Department of Tourist Development Commissioner Kevin Triplett today announced Tennessee tourism's direct domestic and international travel expenditures reached an all-time high of $18.4 billion in 2015, up 3.7 percent over the previous year, as reported by the U.S. Travel Association. The announcement took place at the Sevier County Courthouse near the iconic Dolly Parton statue. Mountain Rukus from Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede provided music.
 
For the 10th consecutive year, tourism topped $1 billion in state and local sales tax revenue, reaching $1.6 billion, up 7 percent over 2014. Tourism-generated jobs for Tennesseans reached 157,400, an increase of 2.9 percent.
 
Top five counties include Davidson ($5.686 billion), Shelby ($3.196 billion), Sevier ($2.031 billion), Hamilton ($1.016 billion), and Knox ($1.014 billion), who were acknowledged during the event for all achieving more than $1 billion in travel expenditures. All 95 counties in Tennessee had more than $1 million in direct travel expenditures; 19 counties saw more than $100 million each.
 
Tennessee is ranked in the Top 10 destinations in the U.S. for total travel, with more than 105 million in total visitation, a 3.9% increase over 2014, as reported by D.K. Shifflet & Associates.
 
Guests spent a total of $53.00 million in Obion County in 2015, a change of -0.4% compared to 2014, generating a total of $3.19 million in state and $1.62 million in local tax revenues, a year-over-year difference of 4.7% and 2.0%, respectively. A total of 378 Obion Countians are employed in tourism-related fields.
 
"The hard work of Tennessee's tourism industry, strategically led by the Department of Tourist Development and the Tennessee Tourism Committee, continues to produce record results," Gov. Haslam said. "More travelers from around the world are visiting Tennessee each year, and the $1.6 billion in sales tax revenue and growth in jobs is good news for every Tennessean."
 
"It's appropriate that today's announcement takes place next to a statue of Sevier County's own Dolly Parton, who graces the cover of this year's Tennessee Vacation Guide," said Commissioner Triplett. "Dolly's music has played a major role in making Tennessee 'The Soundtrack of America.' People come to Tennessee for a variety of reasons including the music, but it's the authenticity and Southern hospitality that our communities and partners deliver every day that keeps people coming back. The tourism industry's continued economic impact growth is a result of visitor satisfaction."
 
The Tennessee Tourism Committee, appointed in 2011 by Gov. Haslam, is made up of tourism leaders in both the public and private sectors. The Committee is chaired by Colin Reed, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc., and co-chaired by Jack Soden, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., and Sande Weiss, president of Music Road Resort.
