Thanks, CCK. You do a very good job of helping me with my directions/information around the area and it is always most appreciated! As for celebrity theme parks, I'd like one with tributes to Andy Garcia the actor, Harrison Ford the actor, Andrea Bocelli the singer, and Dolly Parton (in a SoWal T-Shirt).

make that a wet t-shirt

2,000 New Jobs for Holmes County at Planned Attractions

Bonifay, FL - A safari-type park and a planned theme park are being developed near Bonifay by Blue Dolphin II Development. Officials say the attractions are excpected to provide another 2,000 more jobs in the area.

As plans are underway to build a safari-type park in Bonifay, just about everyone in the small town wants to work there. "I'd like to feed a few animals over there," says Joe Smith, a produce worker in Holmes County. Arnold Olds, another area resident says, "Something to do with the cats. I'm a cat fanatic. I love cats."

Barret Teal is with Bue Dolphin II, the development company overseeing the development of the attractions. He says Holmes County can probably support most of the positions, then applicants from surrounding counties will fill in any available positions. "A lot of the local jobs, we feel like they'll come from this county first, and then from surrounding counties as we need to pull for more jobs," he says.

Barrett says his Bonifay office is getting overwhelmed by people wanting to apply for jobs now, but they're not in the hiring stage at the moment. "We'll get the ground broken, and get all the permits and that kind of stuff, so the jobs will come probably in the 6 month period," he says.

Officials with Blue Dolphin say Holmes County is among the poorest in the state and they're going to do everything they can to make sure employment slots are filled by as many Holmes County residents as possible. They say about a third of their workforce will be professionals, like biologists and people with special skills in dealing with animals, and they will be coming from all over the country. The rest will be hired from Holmes first, then surrounding counties as needed.

it stinks! soon there will be no forest left and the sun will just reflect off everything, heating up the atmosphere even more, and there will be no oxygen producing trees, and there will be no fish in the rivers because all the insects they eventually feed on will all die, then the animals will die too since there won't be any fish to eat, then we're next(falls off soapbox)

Welcome to Atlanta! The best place in the world to study the urban heat island effect.

I'm pretty sure "Joe the Produce Guy" and his buddy Arnold won't make the "A-List" to feed the Big Cats (which will probably be one of the daily shows). More likely than not, they'll be mucking out pens, fixing fences or trimming bushes under the hot, steamy August sun--and dreaming of the good old days when they polished apples at the (air conditioned) Bonifay Piggly Wiggly.

Bonifay wishes it had a Piggly Wiggly. Oh wait. Here come wild animals and Publix.

Bonifay wishes it had a Piggly Wiggly. Oh wait. Here come wild animals and Publix.

And a mall, according to this morning's News Herald.
And a "treehouse" hotel for viewing the wild animals.
But none of this will happen overnight. They think it will be two years before the wild animal park opens, and the 15,000 seat amphitheater will not get going for another nine months or so.
