Paris, Tenn.–Everybody was having a blast at the 3rd annual Patriot Gala Friday. It’s a fun, social event for Henry County High School special education students and was held at the First United Methodist Church. Kids were having fun getting to know each other, walking a red carpet, dancing and eating a good meal of hot dogs or pulled pork, baked beans, mac and cheese and fruit cups. As you can see, there was a luau theme this year and the auditorium was decorated really nicely. And to top it all off, Circuit Court Clerk Mike Wilson was the DJ, as you can see in photo.
