MY SHELBY COUNTY DAVID BOBO
Jefferson State Community College Director of Community and Media Relations + Shelby County Board of Education Vice President
A Place to Play
Heardmont Park From youth sports to Friday night lights, Heardmont Park offers excellent facilities for our families and youth to play together and have fun. It is a wonderful place to learn how to be a great teammate, improve athletic skills, create friendships and support one another. With two active boys, it holds many special memories for me.
Run ‘n Egg Hunt
Judy M. Merritt Memorial 5K and Eggstravaganza This 5K race also comes with the largest Easter egg hunt you have ever seen! It takes place at Veterans Park on Valleydale Road and raises money for a Jefferson State scholarship named in Judy and Tom Merritt’s honor. It truly is fun for everyone.
Serving the Community Learning in Action
Shelby County Schools My favorite places to visit are the schools in the Shelby County Schools system! It is so exciting to see students engaged in learning. I appreciate the dedicated people who work together to make our schools thrive every day.
County Nonprofits There are so many wonderful organizations in Shelby County that make our county a better place to live, work and play. I am honored to help with some of the very best in our county, including Big Brother/Big Sisters, Family Connection, Inc., Leadership Shelby County and Kiwanis of Indian Springs.
Chef’s Special
Bistro Provare The Bistro Provare in Jefferson State Community College’s Culinary and Hospitality Institute is the perfect spot to meet someone for lunch or grab something to go. The Bistro, located at the college’s Shelby-Hoover Campus on Valleydale Road, serves delicious lunches prepared by future chefs Monday through Thursday. Try the grilled salmon sandwich; it is the best lunch value in town!
