Paris, Tenn.–Horses were taking it easy in the new Livestock Barn before their performance in the Horse & Mule Pull at the Henry County Fairgrounds Friday night as the 2025 Fair kicked off. The fairgrounds were smelling good with the BBQ being cooked. A number of BBQ cookers are at the pavilion and will be turning in their pork, chicken, ribs and steak today. In addition to the Horse & Mule Pull, activities included the Junior Fair Board Dance with James Greer and a number of food trucks on site. Today’s activities include the 5K run and walk; Doly and Me Pick Tennessee Tea Party, and USA Pullers Tractor Pull. Shannon McFarlin photo.
