Paris, Tenn.–The weather was crisp and perfect and hundreds turned out for the Atkins-Porter Neighborhood Fall Festival Saturday. There was plenty to do, including a cake walk with Emcee Mike Wilson, story time with the W.G. Rhea Library, face, pumpkin and rock-painting, arts and crafts, sampling fresh-pressed apple cider from Jesse Yoder, touring the Air Evac and Vanderbilt helicopters, K9 demos by Sheriff Monte Belew and Si, Sgt. Wayne Fuqua and Adora and Deputy Hayley French and Xoe, tours of the Paris Fire Trucks and Henry County ambulance, Birds of Prey from Paris Landing State Park and more.
