Honorary Membership Program

The Downtown Paris Association is dedicated to keeping downtown bustling with exciting events, great shopping, delicious food, charming residences, a variety of music, art, history, and more. The Honorary Membership program was established to provide an opportunity for admirers of the downtown area to contribute to the many works and events of the DPA.

Here are three Honorary Members’ thoughts:

“I’m not a merchant, and I’m not even in business; I’m one of Henry County’s throng of retirees. But I’m happy to contribute to the Downtown Paris Association because I can see how much it does for our community… the association is vigorous, enjoying wide support as more and more people see what can be done when we work together.”

 -- Bill Williams, Paris Post Intelligencer Editor Emeritus

“We love to visit Savannah, Georgia because of the charm of their green areas and old building. Paris has that same appeal. Thanks to the efforts of the DPA we have a good mix of what makes downtowns thrive - diversity. We have antiques, clothing, hardware, restaurants, banking, furniture, and more.”

-- Joe Snow, Owner of Paris Plumbing and Electrical Supply

“It was an easy decision to want to become a member. Anything to aid in helping attract people to the downtown area is worth the money. The DPA makes up the heart of what brings to life so many things in Paris. My family and I look forward to seeing Santa on the Square, eating lunch on Friday’s during Noon on the Square, and Arts ‘Round the Square. There is so much potential for what can be accomplished downtown. We are lucky to have an association of people who understand all it can be.”

-- Chip Anderson, Office Administrator at Bone & Joint Specialists
