Paris, Tenn.–It was the day everyone at Paris Elementary School looks forward to all year–the annual Wet & Wild Day, which couldn’t be held last year due to the COVID pandemic. But everyone sure made up for lost time at Wednesday’s event, which included everyone sprayed by water by the Paris Fire Department, tire rolling, tug-of-war, swaying with hula hoops, running with stacks of pizza boxes and their own DJ to play music while the event was ongoing. And, games included sitting on blocks of ice while eating popsicles. Now, that’s a great way to cool off. (Shannon McFarlin photo).
