Paris, Tenn.–Henry County and city of Paris employees were busy Thursday morning installing the new catfish statues that are being placed around Paris and Henry County, just in time for the 2019 World’s Biggest Fish Fry. The statues were painted by several local artists and are being placed at various locations, including: the Henry Co. Courthouse, City Hall, Downtown Fountain Plaza, Henry County Medical Center, Cornerstone, Eiffel Tower Park, Chamber of Commerce, FirstBank (Mineral Wells location), Paris Elementary School, Richardson’s Body Shop, W. G. Rhea Library, McNeill Park, Carroll Bank & Trust, Paris Landing State Park office, and Foundation Bank.
