LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION
by John Wambles
The Paris/Henry County Chamber of Commerce’s Water Fun Run has grown to one of the biggest events on Kentucky Lake during the summer. Now, it is hard to imagine that the Fun Run started out with less than 30 participants all those years ago. The Fun Run has since boasted having as many as 800 participants. The Tennessee River is a massive body of water and can handle many boaters so set your calendar to be at the docks at Paris Landing State Park, Saturday, July 19th. There are many reasons why the Fun Run has gotten so popular. First and foremost there are very few things more fun than spending the day on your boat on the beautiful Kentucky Lake. The Fun Run is specifically designed to get you to travel to all the shores of Henry and Stewart Counties.
That is a lot of opportunity to eat lunch, gas up the boat, get some snacks and
visit the fantastic resorts. The Fun Run also awards lots of cash and fantastic prizes.
Every year the new Water Fun Run theme adds to the good times. Cheeseburgers in Paris-dise, Redneck Yacht Club and Gilligan’s Island have all been celebrated in year’s past. Look for the announcement in the next few months for this year’s theme. Dressing up and decorating boats are not only permitted
but encouraged. Some may wonder what a Water Fun Run is. It is a unique Poker Run on the water where you collect stamps instead of poker cards. You will first visit the Chamber of Commerce and purchase your Registration Packet in advance. The packet will include your instructions and your designated stops, which include the resorts on Kentucky Lake. You will also
East Wood Clinic
find your stamp sheet. That is very important to hold on to. This “Run” is unique because at each destination you will collect a stamp on your sheet instead of a card.
During the allotted time you need to travel to as many stamp stops as possible. When you return to the dealers at the Paris Landing State Park Dock you will receive a card for each stamp you collected. Out of your cards you will pick five to
create your best poker hand. Winners are announced at the end of each round and cash prizes are awarded.
The Water Fun Run Registration Packets are $20 in advance, available at the Chamber office. The Packets are $25 on the day of the event, available at Paris Landing State Park and the participating resorts.
Every event worth its while has a memorable commemorative tee shirt. The Fun Run’s tee shirts are almost considered collector’s items. You want to get one early, they always tend to sell out quickly. The Chamber office is located at 2508 East Wood St., Paris TN. You may also obtain more information by calling the office at (731) 642-3431 or visiting their website at www.paristnchamber.com.
Save the date for the Water Fun Run. It is always the third Saturday of July. Packets usually go on sale around the first of June.
Reserve July 19th for the Paris/Henry County Chamber of Commerce’s Water Fun Run.

One Man’s Vision Feeds Hundreds of People
By John Wambles
Shepherd’s Table is truly a mission of service to people of this area that was conceived by the late Rev. Arthur Lodge. Along with his wife, Mary, and a team of willing volunteers, they started serving monthly free meals to anyone wanting to join them. He set out to create something that the whole family could enjoy without them worrying about the added expense.
The First Presbyterian Church in Huntingdon wanted to establish a restaurant experience for the whole fam-
ily free of charge. Families were greeted by a host and seated. Drink orders were taken and the entrees and desserts were served by wait staff. Word quick;y spread about the Shepherd’s Table experience and grew from serving four patrons the first night to more than 100 people at times.
Covid restrictions changed the course of Shepherd’s Table, making it a take out experience. But it never slowed down the need for free meals. The restaurant atmosphere is still available, as well as, carry-out. Each meal is a
delicious homemade treat prepared by hard working volunteers. Spaghetti, meat loaf, chicken and dressing and chili are some of the patron’s favorites. Every meal includes a variety of side dishes, bread, a drink and dessert. There is never any charge for your meal.
A few years later, The First Presbyterian Church in Paris joined in serving supper monthly. It quickly became a positive experience for Henry County. Since the beginning of Shepherd’s Table more than 10,000 meals have been served. 10,000 times
people were feed who needed help. All because one man saw the need and called on his friends and family to help.
Shepherd’s Table continues to serve at both locations. The First Presbyterian Church in Paris serves on the first Thursday of each month beginning at 5 until 6:30 PM, unless the food runs out earlier. They are located at 105 S. Market St., in Downtown Paris, next to the Post Office. The First Presbyterian Church in Huntingdon serves their meals on the third Tuesday of the month, from 5 to 6:30 PM or until they run out of food. They are located at 19835 E. Main St., Huntingdon.
“As a church, we believe sharing a meal is a sacred act of hospitality and community. The Shepherd’s Table embodies Christ’s love, welcoming all who come, whether they seek nourishment, companionship or simply a place to belong. At the table, there are no requirements, no questions, only an open seat and a warm meal because everyone deserves to be fed both body and
spirit,” said Melissa Worthey, Supply Pastor for First Presbyterian. The two churches are working together now planning their Spring Gala. This is an evening to show appreciation to the volunteers for all of their hard work.
The Spring Gala will be held at 7:30 PM, May 9th, at the Krider Performing Arts Center. General Gus Radford, known for his Mark Twain impersonation will be the featured entertainment. There will also be music, fun and lots of fellowship.
“Our community kitchens have served with the love of Jesus one meal at a time,”
says Communications Director for Huntingdon, David Carter. Interested parties that want to attend the Spring Gala or want information about volunteering opportunities or attending a meal can email fpcsheperdstable@ gmail,com.
