Backwoods Barbie Dolly Parton comes home to East Tennessee

As thunder storms and funnel clouds ripped through East Tennessee yesterday, Pigeon Forge had their own special angel keeping skies sunny and dry! This area's favorite daughter, Dolly Parton, welcomed Spring with her annual parade down the city's main street, and even the weather seemed to be under her spell.From the Dollywood Foundation offices to Wears Valley Road, eager fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the Backwoods Barbie and, as usual, she didn't disappoint! Signature smile (and wig!) glowing, looking full of life and bursting with happiness, Dolly waved and chatted with the crowd from atop her new custom built float.Sharing time with her home town fans before jetting off to a year-long World Tour, Dolly has had a busy Spring already; appearing as a mentor on Fox Television's popular hit, American Idol and promoting her latest album. Not likely a few rain drops would dampen her enthusiasm or that of the crowds cheering her on.The yearly tradition celebrates the official Grand Opening weekend of the star's Dollywood Theme Park and has become an eagerly awaited kick-off for summer in the Smokey Mountains.

Parton will be performing her new hit “Jesus and Gravity” live during the elimination phase of the show Wednesday evening.

Southern Balloon Works Inc., a Deland, FL company, has recently
announced it's merger with Aerial Products Corporation, a St. Augustine,
FL company. Upon completion of the transaction, manufacturing operations
and the corporate headquarters will be consolidated to larger facilities
in Deland, FL.
Both companies have demonstrated leadership in their respective
categories related to aerial photography, aerial advertising, and aerial
surveillance. As a combined company, Aerial Products Corporation will
have product offerings which include; advertising balloons, advertising
blimps, RC blimps and aerial photography and aerial surveillance
equipment. Company CEO Kevin M. Hess had this to say about the
transaction; It made sense to combine the companies due to their
complementary strengths. Southern Balloon Works builds the
highest-quality lighter than air products and has a solid customer base
with their commercial aerial photography systems. Aerial Products has
experience with aerial surveillance systems, which required an aerial
platform from which to operate. As a combined company, the platform and
electronics systems will be seamlessly integrated into solutions for law
enforcement, port security agencies, environmental agencies and military
customers.
For questions regarding the company please contact the director of media
relations, Felicia Bonforte, at 386-734-0747.

A New Eagle In the Sky Over East Tennessee

Bird watchers in East Tennessee are sighting a new breed of Eagle in the skies. Not the feathered kind, but the latest pet of Sevierville based media company S.D. Professionals, LLC The local company has launched the first ever HD (high definition) video blimp. The nearly 5lb bird has been dubbed, affectionately, The EagleEye. S.D. Professionals, LLC already known in the industry for its cutting edge media tools and techniques, originally trusted Aerial Products, a Florida based business, to develop the new blimp as an additional advertising view for their Sevier County clients. “We surprised even ourselves,” says company owner and creative force Jacob Timmons, “with the overwhelming number of uses and level of interest!” Before the bird was even out of the cage, Timmons was contacted by the king of blimps, Goodyear tire & Rubber, Co., with an interesting proposition. S.D. Professionals, LLC & Aerial Products, are now in the process of building, for the Goodyear Company, a 22ft small scale replica of their famous flying logo complete with all wireless remote controls. “We have designed a wireless, high definition, video system that can send images from the flight to pre-selected television screens and stations on the ground. Goodyear is premiering this innovation at their yearly world wide vendor event at the "Gaylord Texan" in Grapevine, Texas" with Timmons and company piloting the flight! “It’s a VERY exciting time for us”, says Timmons. “But even more exciting is the possibilities this will open up for business in Sevier county!” Timmons plans to use his new toy not only for area advertisers and real estate interests, but as a promotional vehicle for local schools, events and sports. He is speaking with several interested groups, and delighted with plans for the future. Already affiliated with Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library, the company looks forward to giving back to the community. “Check out our EagleEyeinthesky.com website for more details or to find where we will be flying next. Meanwhile, keep looking UP!”
