It Takes a Village to Raise a Catfish Festival
Months of preparations come together Saturday for the much anticipated Franklin Parish Catfish Festival, held annually in historic downtown Winnsboro.
The once local affair to promote the catfish industry in the parish, has grown over the years into the largest one-day festival in the state. Today, the spread covers six square blocks of downtown Winnsboro with traffic detoured from Hwy. 15.
According to Paul Price, festival committee member, four thousand to five thousand pounds of catfish will be served on the day of the festival.
For the past 23 years, community leaders, city workers and a host of volunteers have worked tirelessly to insure that guests attending the festivities enjoy a day of family-fun in a safe environment.
