Binder Park Zoo “Zoorassic Park” selected

as a Lowe’s 100 Hometowns project Binder Park Zoo was selected as one of 100 impact projects out of more than 2,200 submissions that are the cornerstone of 100 Hometowns, an initiative to celebrate Lowe’s centennial. The project awards were announced to the public on July 20 and include 35 community centers, 19 community spaces, nine shelters, eight housing facilities, seven cul- tural preservation projects, seven playground installa- tions, six gardens, four food pantries, four skilled trades projects, and one civic upgrade in 36 states across the country. Details of each of the 100 Hometowns project and their progress may be found at Lowe’s 100 Hometowns | Lowe’s Corporate (lowes.com) and at #100hometowns on social media. Binder Park Zoo’s submis- sion sought support for an exciting new exhibit called Zoorassic Park. Currently under construction on the site of the former children’s zoo, the exhibit will leverage the timeless obsession we have with these mysterious but fascinating, prehistoric crea- tures. A collection of close to twenty life-size dinosaur dis- plays will be strategically placed inside Zoorassic Park. Fun hands-on activities, STEAM-based education

programs and public events combine to create fun learning opportunities that spark imagination and deliver the message of conservation from a “Zoorassic” point of view! Binder Park Zoo enjoys a long association and strong community partner- ship with Lowe’s Home Improvement Store #0069 at 6122 B. Drive North in Battle Creek. “Being nominated and selected for this amazing opportunity is truly a testa- ment to the support the zoo receives from Lowe’s and the surrounding community,” said Diane Thompson, Binder Park Zoo president and CEO. “Zoorassic Park will transform the former children’s zoo in prehistoric ways!” Thompson continued, “The zoo is grateful for the support from Lowe’s and, specifically, Kelly Flees, Pro Sales Specialist, for her work with nominating the zoo. We are thrilled to be a part of the 100 Hometowns project.”

Lowe’s invited people nationwide to nominate a hometown project and share their hometown stories to demonstrate the possibility all neighborhoods hold. Lowe’s awarded 100 grants as part of a $10 million com- mitment to give back to the communities Lowe’s serves and help recipients complete projects to build, repair, beautify, inspire and improve communities across America. The 100 projects are expect- ed to be completed this year. “We are inspired by the nationwide response to 100 Hometowns, which brought people from all across the country to share with us their remarkable stories and hope for how their community might be made a little better,” said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s chairman and CEO. “Lowe’s has been dedicated to improving homes, and hometowns, since its found- ing in 1921, and we look forward to continuing to do so for the next 100 years.”

Dolly Parton’s Imagination
Library has given away more
than 150 million books all
across the United States. The
books are paid for by the

Dollywood Foundation. In order to develop a local program, a local champion like Marshall District Library must raise enough money for the mailing costs of these books, approximately $ per child each year. No fees may be charged to families and no government funds may be used. All funding for this program is done through donations from the community.
