Paris, Tenn.–The Paris-Henry County Chamber of Commerce office opened at 6 a.m. today and gave out several hundred free masks in the first 30 minutes. Chamber CEO Travis McLeese said the first customers arrived at 5:33 a.m. to pick up some masks and the line was steady all morning. By 9:45 a.m., several thousand had been given away at the four distribution sites. Through the “Mask Up” Campaign, 10,000 custom masks were produced for the community. The first shipment was released to the public last week, with the larger shipment becoming available to the public today. They are available at the Chamber of Commerce, Paris City Hall, Paris Pediatrics, and Eagle Creek Clinic while supplies last.
