Chamber of Commerce Director

Paris Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Tonya Baumgartner, and Paris Schools Communication and PR Director, Tonya Varnell, have been collaborating to complete a video submission to enter the Paris Community into HGTV's Home Town Takeover contest. 

“This is a big one,” Erin Napier said of the new show in a press release. “HGTV has never, ever taken on a whole town-renovation-and-restoration project, and we’re so proud and excited to be leading the team that will get it done.” Fans of the Napiers have watched the married couple completely transform their own home base of Laurel, Mississippi, one residence at a time.

“Renovating one house at a time is an awesome experience, but the chance to support an entire town, where we can help bring a community back to life and enhance the lives of the people who live and work there, is something we’ve always wanted to try,” Ben Napier said in a statement.
