Thousands Attend 22nd Annual Catfish Festival


The smell of carnival cooking and the sounds of gospel and country music filled downtown Winnsboro Saturday for the 22nd Annual Catfish Festival as thousands strolled the streets for the daylong event. Festival director Paul Price said from gate admissions they estimate well over 15,000 attended.

"We are very pleased with the turnout," Price said. "It's a great event for the community and puts us in positive light."

Hwy. 15 was barricaded for several blocks for the more than 60 vehicles in the antique car show, which included the cultural icon, the Oscar Myer Weiner-mobile.
