世上第一大炸魚
地方性遺產
為什麼田納西巴黎鎮的路標上會有一隻巨大的鯰魚？
因為巴黎鎮是「世上第一大炸魚」的發源地，在這個長達六天的慶祝活動上，飢餓的參觀者會消耗掉約12,500磅的鯰魚。這項慶祝活動始於1953年，節目內容包括了遊行、方塊舞、汽車展及鯰魚競賽(假如您幸運的話)！
您知道田納西巴黎鎮的名字由來嗎？它是為了紀念獨立戰爭的英雄拉法葉的故鄉，(Lafayette：全名為Marquis
de Lafayette, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier)，所以就拿法國的巴黎來當做鎮名。拉法葉曾與喬治華盛頓的軍隊一起作戰，而且曾於1800年代早期造訪過田納西。
Why is there a giant catfish on top of that sign for Paris, Tennessee?
Because Paris is home to an event that claims to be the "world's biggest fish fry." Hungry visitors will consume about 12,500 pounds of catfish during the festivities, which last for six days. The event began in 1953 and includes parades, square dances, an auto show, and, if you're lucky, a catfish race!
Do you know how Paris, Tennessee, got its name? It was named after Paris, France, to honor the homeland of Revolutionary War hero Lafayette, whose full name is Marquis de Lafayette, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier! He had fought with George Washington's army and visited Tennessee in the early 1800s.
