Norris to dedicate new Creamery Park
This is the northern entrance to the new Norris Creamery Park, which sits on a 2.5-acre plot along the new East Norris Road sidewalk. - NORRIS RECREATION COMMISSION
Norris will dedicate its newest city park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. this coming Monday (Nov. 9) – the Norris Creamery Park and Greenway, which stretches along the east side of East Norris Road. The ceremony will precede the City Council’s monthly meeting at 6 p.m. Monday in the Norris Community Building. Because there is no parking available at the site, those coming to the ribbon-cutting are asked to park at the Anderson Crossing shopping center. The event, coordinated by the Norris Recreation Commission, also will honor Norris resident Spencer Boardman, who has spent countless hours – and a chunk of his own money – working on the site to help create the park’s amenities. It’s built on a 2.5-acre plot that includes the majority of a new sidewalk built in 2021 to stretch from Dairy Pond Road to Andersonville Highway. The land was donated to the city in two parcels, one from Jerry and Ellalyn Crossno, and the other from Norris Mayor Chris Mitchell and his wife, Pam Turner.

Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadets from Anderson County, Clinton and Oak Ridge high schools were honored in a ceremony last Wednesday in front of the county courthouse in an event led by county Mayor Terry Frank. Members from all three schools marched around the courthouse and stopped in front of the building on North Main Street in Clinton for recognition during the fifth-annual JROTC Appreciation Day program. Participating were the Navy JROTC programs of Anderson County and Oak Ridge high schools, and the Air Force JROTC program of Clinton High School. The Oak Ridge Navy JROTC presented the colors for the ceremony, and Oak Ridge Cadet Michael Finstad performed a rifle drill before proclamations were presented to representatives from each high school’s JROTC unit. “I want you to know that your efforts are appreciated,” Frank said in her address to begin the program. “I recognize you are going above and beyond. I see and note your work in our communities – your acts of charity, your volunteerism, your dedication and service. I want you to know that I am extremely proud of you.”
