Spotlight on Albany’s All-American Fun Park

In 1957, a young married couple, Robert and Rheda Hall, decided to make Albany, Georgia, their home after Robert completed his tour of duty in the Army, stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Thus began the history of the family-owned business now known as the All American Fun Park.

Having enjoyed Putt-Putt® golf in Columbus, Georgia, while they were dating, the Hall’s were disappointed to find that Albany had none. They soon contacted the Putt-Putt® home office in Fayetteville, NC, and obtained a franchise for an 18-hole course. They purchased a run-down miniature golf course at the end of North Slappey Boulevard and the renovation began.

In less than a year, they opened for business in the spring of 1958.

In 1972, the Albany by-pass would take a third of their course. They turned this event into an opportunity by bulldozing the old course and building a modern three-course facility.

In the early 80’s, the video game craze exploded! Rheda and Robert enlarged their building to accommodate 25 video games and a small concession area. Young people flocked in to experience the video game phenomenon from miles away!

The success was tremendous and the Hall’s, having no children of their own, realized they would need help to continue the operational tempo of the business in the years to come.

In 1982, they contacted their nephew, James “Buddie” Blackwell and his new bride, Cheryl Cannon Blackwell, to invite them to move to Albany to help. It seemed appealing to Buddie and Cheryl, so they said good-by to their parents and life-long friends in the West Point, Georgia, area to begin a new adventure. The Blackwell’s were blessed with two children, James and Jessica, who literally grew up at the business and had the advantage of learning from their mentor and biggest fan, Aunt Rheda Hall.

Over the next few years with the Blackwell’s help, the Hall’s added blaster boats, go-karts, and a laser tag arena. Video games continued to grow in popularity, and the number of games grew to the current number of approximately 70 video games. In 2004, the Hall’s changed the name of the business to All American Fun Park because it had become so much more than just a miniature golf-course.

In 2008, a state-of-the-art bowling center was added, allowing year-round entertainment for the community and surrounding areas. The bowling center, along with the other attractions at the park has accommodated hundreds of school, civic and church groups as well as birthday parties and family reunions of all types and sizes!

The success continued and it became necessary to add an operations manager to the staff. George Humes joined the team immediately prior to the grand opening of the bowling center.

Sadly, in 2013, Mrs. Hall lost her 8year battle with cancer. She is missed every day by her family and the community. She contributed so much to every life she touched, and will always be remembered as the lady who gave so many their first job and taught them a strong work ethic that

has followed them throughout their careers.

In 2015, the Blackwell’s daughter, Jessica, joined the staff as general manager after completing her degree in Finance from the University of Georgia. It had always been her lifelong dream to follow in her Aunt Rheda’s footsteps. Their son, James, conducted extensive training of the bowling center, management of leagues, and the maintenance of the bowling machines. He is now nearing completion of his doctor of physical

therapy degree from Georgia Regents University, formerly the Medical Georgia of Georgia, but still provides consulting and training services for the Fun Park.

Mr. Hall and the Blackwell’s appreciate the support they receive from the community and surrounding areas. They are committed to providing a safe, wholesome place for families to experience quality time together. This was the Hall’s vision in 1957 and will remain our goal for years to come!

6 tips for getting your vehicle tailgate ready (BPT) - If "road trip" are the two best words for summer, then "tailgating" is the call for fall. As American as frozen TV dinners, tailgating is essentially a reason for over exuberant college and pro football fans to use their vehicles to party-hearty in the great outdoors, i.e., a giant stadium parking lot.

Not surprisingly, tailgating has evolved over the years. Whether it's a baseball game, NASCAR race or even a non-sporting event, someone is next to their car, truck or SUV, performing the essential tailgate rituals: grillin', chillin' and watchin' TV. With the immense popularity of tailgating today, those hosting the social-gathering are aiming to have the coolest and most innovative partyfriendly products and accessories for their car, truck or SUV. "Tailgating is a creative way to launch a party from a vehicle," says Chris Kersting, president and CEO for the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), the automotive trade organization for the aftermarket.

"Tailgating really highlights what specialty aftermarket manufacturers are all about: innovative products to personalize and enhance vehicles to fit one's interests."

Here are some tailgating product ideas:

*Make your bed. If you're using a truck, the bed area is going to be essential. There are several products to keep the bed protected and stylish, such as colorful spray-on bed liners or complete bolton bed liners. Rubber bed floors and tailgate mats are also available to keep your bed nice and tidy. *Tailgate tales. There are plenty of items available to protect and enhance your tailgate. Ladders, ramps and stairs can provide easy accessibility while tailgate caps can offer additional protection. Different sizes and styles of cargo boxes are available to carry around gear, and even act as a cooler. Top it off by converting your full-sized truck tailgate into a comfy couch with a thick-foamed cushion that's made for the exact specifications of your tailgate. *Team player. Sports fans like to show their allegiances and many tailgating products are offered with team logos and colors. Several companies offer vinyl team graphics that adhere to the sides of your vehicle, while others offer tailgate nets with the American flag so you can honor the red, white and blue. Wheel covers, floor mats, and dash covers are all available with team logos as well. Personalized car flags are a

must so fellow tailgaters can find your party easier. *There's a hitch. Lots of products are available to attach to your tow hitch, including one that features two fold-out tailgating tables. Dual-hitch receivers double your towing capacity so you can bring more tailgating accessories and keep them safe with a hitch pin and lock. *Game on. Many tailgaters watch games from their vehicles and can easily do so with a portable TV mount.

Keep your screen tightly secured by attaching it to your trailer hitch, enabling you to safely set up your flat screen TV with your truck tailgate open. Consider updating your car audio system to help deliver the best sound possible. *The great outdoors. Sometimes the outdoors aren't too great, so there are pop-up auto umbrellas, shelters and awnings that will fend off rain or too much sunshine.

There are a number of affordable tailgating products available for your vehicle. Most of these products can be found at camping and sporting goods stores, as well as auto parts stores, national mass retailers and online.

DID YOU KNOW? Along with the Orange Bowl and the Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl is the second oldest college football bowl game in the United States.

Played annually since January 1, 1935, the game is now known as the Allstate Sugar Bowl and still maintains a nonexclusive relationship with the Southeastern Conference, a relationship the bowl has maintained since its inception. The bowl continues to attract big names as well, as over the years such notables as Archie Manning, Herschel Walker, Dan Marino, Bo Jackson, and Tim Tebow have all received the Sugar Bowl's Miller-Digby Award, which recognizes each game's most outstanding player.

Diesel Equipment Technology years ago. The program was expanded last year. Then after companies participating in the Governor’s HighDemand Careers Initiative expressed concern about the lack of skilled workers to fill jobs in their industries, Gov. Deal significantly expanded the grant program for this fall.

As of July, Georgia had awarded more than $13.6 million in Strategic Industries grants to nearly 21,000 technical college students. Many more will benefit during the 2015-2016 academic year.

Business leaders tell us that within five years, 60 percent of our state’s jobs are going to require training and certification beyond high school. So we encourage you not to let this opportunity slip by.

Make a difference in your future and in Georgia’s future.

At June’s grand opening of Lanier Technical College’s new campus in Barrow County, Gov. Nathan Deal talked about one of the best educational opportunities available anywhere in the United States.

It's right here in Georgia, and we don't want you to miss out.

Here’s the deal: If you are a Georgia resident eligible for the Hope Grant, you can attend the Technical College System of Georgia tuition free.

All you have to do is to take courses that teach job skills in high demand by Georgia industries.

The Hope Grant pays 75 percent of the cost of tuition at a technical college.

The newly expanded Strategic Industries Workforce Development Grant pays the other 25 percent, with money left over for fees.

The great thing about grants is that they never have to be paid back. So instead of leaving college with a piece of paper and a mountain of debt, you can enter the job market with the latest job skills and no college debt.

Both part-time and full-time students are eligible for the Strategic Industries grant, and qualifying isn't hard. Just enroll in your local technical college, keep your grade point average at 2.0 overall, and work toward a certificate or diploma in one of 10 industries: Certified Engineer Assistant, Commercial Truck Driving, Computer Technology, Diesel Equipment Technology, Early Childhood Care and Education, Health Science, Movie Production & Set Design, Practical Nursing, Precision Manufacturing, and Welding & Joining Technology.

Technical colleges around the state are now offering 131 certificates or diplomas in those 10 industries. Albany Technical College is offering 36.

The Georgia General Assembly began funding the Strategic Industries grant program on a limited basis two

RVing thoughout History: Birth of an American Pastime RV History Americans, it seems, have been destined to be RVers since the earliest days that explorers set foot on this continent. Adventurers at heart, settlers came in search of freedom and opportunities to grow and discover. And discover they did – first by ship, then by horse, in groups by Conestoga wagon trains and, ultimately, by motorized vehicles that ushered in the RVs of today.

The Birth of the RV Industry

A century ago, the popularization of the automobile, improving roads and America’s passion for exploration gave rise to mass-produced, manufactured recreation vehicles, and the RV industry was born. In 1910, there were few gas stations, few paved roads and no highway system. But there were RVs. 1910 is the year that America’s leading RV historians – David Woodworth, Al Hesselbart and Roger White – cite as the beginning of what has become the modern RV industry.

1910

“The first motorized campers were built in 1910,” says Woodworth, a preeminent collector of early RVs and RV camping memorabilia. “Before then, people camped in private rail cars that were pulled to sidings along train routes. The year 1910 brought a new freedom to people who didn’t want to be limited by the rail system. RVs allowed them to go where they wanted, when they wanted.”

Hesselbart, archivist for the RV/MH Heritage Museum in Elkhart, Indiana, also pinpoints 1910 as the birth of the RV industry. “Camping has been around for centuries, but 1910 is when the first auto-related camping vehicles were built for commercial sale.” Known as “auto campers” or “camping trailers” a century ago, these vehicles were a forerunner of today’s modern RVs. “There were one-offs [individual units] built prior to 1910,” says White, an associate curator for the Smithsonian Institution. “But 1910 is a good

benchmark for the industry.”

a stroll down memory lane to see where we’ve been.

industry flourished as more Americans sought mobility.

The Freedom to Travel Anywhere 1913 “The 1910 RVs offered minimal comforts compared to today’s homeson-wheels,” says Woodworth. “But they did provide the freedom to travel anywhere, to be able to get a good night’s sleep and enjoy home cooking.

One notable contrast to today’s RV was the bathroom. In 1910, it was usually either yonder tree or yonder bush."

The First RV Models Camping trailers made by Los Angeles Trailer Works and Auto-Kamp Trailers also rolled off the assembly line beginning in 1910. A version of today’s Type B van camper, the Pierce-Arrow “Touring Landau,” was unveiled at Madison Square Garden that same year, complete with an on-board bathroom. These companies and innovative products were featured in a Popular Mechanics issue in 1911. Take

The 1913 Earl was an ancestor of the contemporary travel trailer.

The Tin Can Tourists RV camping clubs date back to the Tin Can Tourists of the 1920s and 1930s. The Tin Can Tourists were RVers who braved dust and mud to drive their Tin Lizzies across the U.S. before transcontinental roads were paved. They camped by the side of the road, heated tin cans of food on gasoline stoves and bathed in cold water.

1950 From tiny do-it-yourself kits to plush 30-foot models, travel trailers came into their own as true towable RVs by 1950.

Many of today’s RV manufacturers started production in the 1950s and 1960s. The RV’s evolutionary path included advances in aerodynamic design and interior comforts.

1970 and Beyond Through war and peace, booms and busts, fuel lines, fads and the cyberrevolution, the RV lifestyle has endured and is still going strong, even in today’s challenging economic times.

The 1930s RVs sold in the 1930s used aircraftstyle construction and came equipped with beds, dinettes, electricity and water. After World War II, the RV

Tips on Cruising with Kids How many trips can you make to Disney World for that family vacation with the kids, shelling out hundreds of dollars just to walk your family through the gates, standing in line in the hot sun, buying Mickey Ears as a souvenir – then throwing them in the bottom of the closet when you return home? Does this sound like a vacation to you?

Why not make the whole family happy, from the kids to the grandparents? It’s time to look at cruising – not only is it the best vacation value around, but everyone in the family has a great time. Cruise lines know that kids need to be occupied, and they also know that parents need a break. So how can one vacation accomplish both needs?

The new megaships are built for families in mind.

Parents can sit by the pool while their kids are enjoying the water slides and fun activities, and the best part is there is no extra charge for the fun.

If your kids are more adventurous, why not check out the many other activities available onboard. How about rock climbing, surfing, zip lining, basketball, putt-putt golf, bungee jumping, ice skating, game rooms, bowling

and more! Yes, you can do all these activities on a ship!

But wait, there’s more! Are you looking for a few hours to chill by the pool, get a massage or simply want to take a spin class? While you do that, your children will be occupied with learning and enriching activities. There is a program for children of all ages. Examples of some of the fun in store at the kids’ camps include: •Toddlers (ages 2-5) – splash pool, fun family games, cartoon time, toys, learn your colors, counting games, sponge painting, indoor beach parties, pizza pig out, drawing contests, sing-alongs, bingo, face painting, arts and crafts, cookie decorating • Juniors (ages 6-8) – talent show, face painting, cartoon time, indoor fair, sea animals, trivia, ice cream sundaes, cookie decorating, button making, puppet show, beach party, outdoor fun and games.

• Intermediate (ages 9-12) – t-shirt painting, photography, jewelry making, board games, dance class, video game tournament, ping pong, talent show, volleyball, show time, scavenger hunts, meet the entertainers back stage, breakfast fun

Beverly Pressley

• Teens (ages 13-15) – ping pong, pool party, teen dance, dance class, talent show, pizza party, indoor beach party, skin care and hairdressing demonstration, photography Cruising is not just for adults anymore – it’s the vacation where EVERYONE gets to have fun.

Cruising is the only way to travel! For more information and to reserve your next cruise vacation, contact Beverly Pressley your Cruise Planners/American Express Specialist, at 229-299-4469 or 877-594-4862. Email: beverly.pressley@cruiseplann ers.com.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take the high road when you find yourself in the midst of a disagreement with a friend. It may be tempting to stick to your guns, but the disagreement is nothing too significant.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don't make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. For whatever reason your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It's better than putting in no effort at all.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you're wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don't worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 There are only so many hours in the day, Libra.

You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it's something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you're more comfortable.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week. You will be so surprised.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view.

Learn how to walk away from pointless situations.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There's more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.
