St. Paris celebrates Christmas In July
ST. PARIS – It’s July, but in St. Paris, it feels like Christmas.
“Christmas in July” will take place Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Harmon Park, beginning with a bit of history, then an auction of Christmas ornaments, followed by an outdoor movie, which event organizer LaTasha Hackley calls “a timeless Christmas classic.”
“It’s a fun way for the community to get together and raise money for playground equipment,” said Hackley, a member of Our Town Saint Paris, the event’s main sponsor. Other sponsors include St. Paris orthodontist G. Shockley Wier; Drs. Glenn Sullivan and James Rankin and the St. Paris Federation of Churches.

ST. PARIS – A St. Paris civic group will sell take-out chicken noodle dinners Saturday to raise money for playground equipment at Harmon Park.
Volunteers of Our Town Saint Paris will distribute boxed dinners Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Lakeland Golf Club, 1772 Kiser Lake Road. Meals are $12.
Next week the group will take delivery of a playground piece called “Calvin Caterpillar,” as well as a “generation swing” that allows an adult and toddler to swing together.
Future plans include a splashpad, according to the group’s president, Brenda Cook, who said that raising money for the playground isn’t the only activity of Our Town Saint Paris.
