Why did you get involved with Shelby Farms Park? I've been coming to the Park since I was a kid for all kids of activities, and I have always tried to spread the word so more people would take advantage of it.  When the opportunity came to be inolved directly with the Park and help share the message with the world, I jumped at the chance!

What's your favorite place in the Park? My favorite place is the shady grove between Pine Lake and the horse stables, because my dad started bringing me here when I was young to picnic, walk in the woods and watch the animals wander around in the cool shady woods.  I love watching any kind of wildlife, especially bison, and get really excited when new babies are born!

Other than Shelby Farms Park, what's your favorite place in Memphis and why? Hard to pick because Memphis has so many fantastic and unique places, but the riverfront has always held a special place of fascination in my heart...it is an amazingly beautiful force of nature, and I never tire of watching it.

Shelby Farms Park is one of the most beautiful places in Memphis--a treasure right in the heart of our city that everyone needs to come and discover for themselves!
