Join Maury County Parks for the grand opening of the Storybook Trail in Maury County Park! Located on the Nature Trail, the Storybook Trail features storybooks on child-height panels, along a short ADA-accessible trail. This new trail aims to promote adult-child interaction around books and nature through a healthy outdoor activity. Books will be rotated monthly, so there is always a new, seasonal story to enjoy. They will also celebrate this new trail with a ribbon-cutting, activities, and a family hike! The Storybook Trail was made possible through a partnership with the Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation, Imagination Library, the Student’s Club, Kiwanis of Columbia, and Dr. Rebecca Hawkins in addition to support from Boy Scouts Troup 103.

Discover Maury Nature! Between May 28 – August 6 set a goal to accomplish 10 hikes in 10 weeks. The rules are: each hike should be a minimum of one mile and try to hike as many different trails as possible. You may only log the same trail twice during the challenge. However, you may hike different trails at the same park or location. You can find registration and passport booklets for you to record your hikes at the following places: Maury County Parks Office, Armory Recreation Center, Macedonia Recreation Center, and UT Extension Office. Once you complete the challenge, please return to one of these locations with your passport to receive your hiking patch!

The Mulehouse

Setting out to create the most authentic Journey experience anyone has ever witnessed, Vic, Ryan, and the band spent countless hours discussing the look, sound, production, and feel needed for this Journey tribute to deliver a live experience that would resonate on the highest level with the most avid Journey fan. Over two rehearsals, the newly assembled musicians learned eight of Journey’s greatest hits for a promotional video shoot. On March 10, 2014, at Gray’s on Main in Franklin, TN, the band struck its first notes in front of a live audience. The response quickly validated the passion Vic and Ryan had poured into the project for half a year and cemented their reality. Just one month later, the band sold out legendary Nashville music performance hall, 3rd & Lindsley, for its first full-length performance, and the response from those attending was spectacular. The band has been on a whirlwind journey ever since, growing quickly from a weekend-warrior act into one of the most highly sought after tribute experiences in the country.
