Paris, Tenn.–W.G. Rhea Library Board Member Dr. Norma Gerrell opened the Free Family Fall Festival Saturday by “reminding everyone why we’re here. We’re here to honor someone very special and that was Connie McSwain”, who was the long-time director of the library who died earlier this year. Gerrell noted, “She loved children and she loved books and music and Mr. Bond and we should be thankful we had her for as long as we did.”
The Festival featured activities that McSwain enjoyed, including the Mr. Bond the Science Guy show, music by the Ray Lewis Band, cake made by Jerry Joyner, and plenty of games and activities for everyone. Free books were also given to children who attended.
