In this episode of “Hub City Now with Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.”, the host interviews Brianna Kline, Brooks Shaw and Son’s Old Country Store marketing and events leader.
Kline spoke about her journey to Jackson and applying for a job as a cashier but getting the one she had actually created.
Kline spoke about the 3rd Annual Clark Shaw Memorial Prayer Walk. This year’s walk continued the work begun by the late Clark Shaw and Jackson First Assembly of God Church Senior Pastor Garry Martin, who coordinated the first prayer walk in the Old Hickory area in 2018. About 550 people and 28 churches were involved in the first walk.
Clark Shaw operated The Old Country Store, which was founded by his father Brooks Shaw in 1965, as a Southern-style buffet, gift and ice cream shoppe, and it has been a tourist destination for more than 50 years. Clark’s son, Brooks, is the third generation Shaw to run the business.
The prayer walk is named in honor of Clark Shaw, who died in November 2020 from COVID-19, and shares his mission to pray for the city as a whole and bring more people to Christ.
