Parson's Table began 1978 when showrooms were first starting to open on Wrenn Street. Some exhibitors soon realized there were no nearby food services for their clients. A few of the showroom owners approached ladies of First United Methodist Church and told them they would guarantee to buy at least 50 meals if the ladies would provide them. Thus began a thriving venture for the UMW in their quest to support numerous worthy charitable projects.
