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.
