"Gone Fishin'"

Exhibit ran: March 17 - April 29, 2011

"Gone Fishin'" was a truly unique exhibit experience featuring art by Andrea May, Melanie Douthit and others...and treasured catch by area fishermen...as well as a real Braggin' Corner to show off fish tales!!  It was a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Franklin Parish Catfish Festival, the largest one-day festival in Louisiana, held in historic downtown Winnsboro.  This was the first year for the Old Post Office Museum to be open during the festival, so it was a significant event in many ways.

Two longtime friends travel the state they love, listening to old music, barreling their way over back highways and byways, while discovering beauty all along the way.  Fissin', cussin' and discussin' who takes the best photos.  Their work was both thoughtful and captivating!
