Corie is a lifelong Bristol resident. She married her high school sweetheart, Travis, and has three kids - Hailey, Jacob, and Grace. Corie’s passion is community involvement.  She is actively involved as the Bristol Striver 4-H leader, in the county fair, and at the elementary school. It was no surprise when she had an idea to bring FUN FREE events to the community that would encourage family bonding and neighborhood involvement – she gathered her friends and Growing with Bristol was born. Growing with Bristol has grown so much since it’s establishment in November of 2018 - from one large event to offering multiple events throughout the month! Corie’s goal for Growing with Bristol growth is to partner with local area businesses to offer bigger events for the whole community to enjoy (i.e. community ice rink)
