Paris, Tenn.–For a number of years, the Paris Boy Scouts Troop 28 has collected old United States flags for proper disposal. Late last week, the group relocated their downtown drop off location to the lot adjacent to the Paris Board of Public Utilities on E. Washington St.
Board of Public Utilities CEO Terry Wimberley said, “In conjunction with the Boy Scouts, we are proud to provide this service to our community.”
