@katieachittam: Recital 2023 in these doors, they are going to get quality service. I still think it’s important to have a personal connection with your customers.

@mackenzienhoward: The Howard’s are home in Hartselle!

How has your business changed through the years?

Technology has changed the printing industry so much. I have a machine now that does the job of five people 20 years ago. My father would be astonished at how easy it is to print color today. It was very difficult back in the day with all the steps involved to print color. Even so, it has never dawned on me until recently that Enquirer Printing is somewhat of a pillar in the community. People still depend on us.

What does the future look like for Enquirer Printing?

Parker doesn’t have plans to retire.

“I’m 62 years old,” he said. “If the good Lord continues to bless us and bless this business, I want to be able to provide the community with the service we always have. It’s all due to God.”

What do you enjoy in your free time, away from the office?

“Last month I was at the shop three weekends out of four. We’ve been covered up – but that’s a good thing,” Parker said. When he’s not at Enquirer Printing, Parker can be found on his tractor, cutting and bailing hay or spending time with his grandson and wife.

Serve Day

SServe Day is a true example of why Hartselle’s slogan is the “City of Southern Hospitality.” Businesses, churches, nonprofits, and families come together on this day every year to serve our community. This year’s Serve Day took place Sept. 15. Hundreds of volunteers gathered in front of the Depot for a pep rally, which included a flag ceremony led by Boy Scout Troops 336 and 92, the National Anthem led by HACC staff member, Jaime Hatcher, a speech by Hartselle Football defensive coordinator and associate head coach, Bert Newton, and a send-off prayer led by Jimmy Watson, Pastor of Hartselle First Assembly of God. Volunteers from more than 20 local organizations completed projects such as painting and repairs at J.P. Cain Stadium, landscaping and cleaning at each Hartselle school and roadside trash clean-up throughout the community.
