Sponsored by The Shed, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, and Trinity United Methodist Church, dozens of volunteers which included county officials, city of Paris officials, law enforcement and numerous church members handed out free backpacks and school supplies. Games were available, as well as free food and musical entertainment was provided. The Board of Public Utilities and Paris Fire Department also were on hand with their equipment.
