WBFF Headquarters Grand Opening Set For Saturday; Clydesdales To Be At Fish Fry This Year

By Shannon McFarlin WENK/WTPR News Director
Paris, Tenn.—It’s that time again—time to start thinking about catfish, hush puppies and parades. It’s almost time for the World’s Biggest Fish Fry and this one will be extra special, as it is the 65^th anniversary of the event.
 
To commemorate the 65^th, the Budweiser Clydesdales will be at this year’s Fish Fry again, at both the fairgrounds and in the parade.
 
The Grand Opening of the headquarters for the World’s Biggest Fish Fry is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, March 31, in front of Paris Inn and Suites on East Wood St.
 
This year’s WBFF General Manager Lisa Stone and other Fish Fry officials will be announcing who the souvenir book will be dedicated to and who the Grand Marshal for this year’s parade will be. Hostess Princess Gracie Osbron and her court will be on hand to pass out the souvenir booklets.
 
The Fish Fry is always held the last full week in April and this year’s event will kick off with activities on April 21.
The Fish Fry is sponsored each year by the Jaycees.
