Paris, Tenn.–All good things must come to an end. With the holiday season behind us, down come the city of Paris’ beautiful Christmas decorations in the downtown plaza. In the cat bird seat this year was Alex Hassell, who along with other staff at the Paris Parks and Recreation Department, took down all the decorations Thursday. Working along with her were Parks and Rec Director Tony Lawrence, Gary Paschall, Clayton Lee, John Thompson, Joel Crosno, Cedric Byars, Robert Beard and Austin Conger. Shannon McFarlin photo.
