Glory Days at the World's Biggest Fish Fry

Published: April 23, 2010, 4 a.m.

The annual World's Biggest Fish Fry was in full swing this week, and a new event drew hungry competitors to the fish tent. The fish fry began as a mule pull in 1938 and after they began serving fish to participants, the tradition caught on. This year's newest event is the Hush Puppy eating contest. It started on Wednesday night at 7pm at the Paris Tennessee fairgrounds. Homemade hush puppies drew competitors of all statures. But in the end, a young father took the prize.
