The Catfish Festival and Trade Show will bring a day of fun, fins
and fenders to Wrightsville, Ga., April 7.

The celebration will include an arts-and-crafts fair, motorcycle
and antique car shows and plenty of entertainment and good food,
including (of course) fried catfish.

The trade show will be at the American Legion Fairgrounds on
Highway 15 south of Wrightsville. Companies from all over the
Southeast will display catfish equipment, feeds and supplies from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Seminar Is Serious

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., a seminar will focus on commercial
catfish production. Classes on building ponds and raising catfish
will include a look at the NWAC-103, Mississippi’s new
fast-growing catfish.
