Paris, Tenn.–Dr. Tommy Townsend and his wife Melanie prepare to hand out water to participants in the first REAL Hope Youth Rally Saturday at the Henry County Fairgrounds. A good-sized crowd of young people and their parents enjoyed the festivities, which included games, live music and keynote speaker Tom Coverly. A highlight of the afternoon–especially for the children–was Inman Principal Jason Scarbrough and other Paris Special Schools District staff taking turns getting dunked in the dunking booth.
