One of my favorite things about
winter in Henry County is that we
usually get several beautiful snows,
but they rarely stay long enough to
become tiresome. In fact, it’s just
the opposite. A snow in our neck
of the woods is a license to close
schools for a day or two, perhaps
leave work a little early, cook a
big pot of chili, build a snowman
and (my personal favorite) grab a
sled and head for the hills. Then,
before you can say Abominable
Snowman, that warm Tennessee
sun pops out and it’s business as
usual. It’s one of the many reasons
our friends from Michigan, Ohio,
Wisconsin and other northern
climes flock here to retire.
So this year, I say, “Embrace it
all!” Enjoy those sunny days, but
don’t shy away from playing in that
gorgeous snow. The City of Paris
does an amazing job of getting
the streets cleared, which makes it
easier to get with your buds for a
little sledding, canvas the area for
gorgeous, snowy photos or take a
moonlit walk among the diamonds.
Having said that, a group of
people who NEVER slack off in a
snow are the fine folks at Helping
Hand. That means that no matter
what it looks like outside, there
will be items for sale, an auctioneer
at the microphone and volunteers
manning the phones so the auction
can hit the airwaves of WTPR
710 (see calendars on pages 7 and
8) at 12:30 pm. In short, the show
must go on. So take a page out
of the Helping Hand book. Don’t
hunker down with the arrival of
Old Man Winter, get out there and
enjoy this diverse season. Be it sun
or snow, it’s great to be in Henry
County.
