Early detection of breast cancer saves lives- but Mississippi has one of the lowest screening rates in the nation for older women. This year alone, over 2,000 Mississippi women could be diagnosed.

Please join us in “Painting the Town Pink”! Help us create awareness, celebrate survivors, support those fighting and remember those we’ve lost to breast cancer by decorating your home or business in pink from now until the end of October.

It’s only one month away!

Please join us Saturday, November 12th from 11:00 to 3:00 pm on Woodville’s Historic Courthouse Square for the Woodville Deer & Wildlife “Kickoff”.

We’ve all been through a lot since 2020; Woodville Main Street was no exception. However, we’re all, slowly but surely making a comeback; Woodville Main Street included.

It’s been a minute since we’ve been able to put on the festival at all, much less to the level of its former grandeur. So this year, we’re rolling with slow and steady. We’re going with “hey, remember us?” We’re running with “let’s get our community back out there.”
This year’s “Kickoff” will be different than our beloved “festival”, but we hope you will all come out, enjoy community again and help us build momentum to bring the “festival” back in full force in 2023.

ART COMPETITION:

Information on the children’s art competition will be sent out through Centreville schools, Wilkinson County schools and WCCA. Any child is welcome and encouraged to participate. All submissions must be wildlife related.

All art will be displayed on the Courthouse Square on November 12th. Prizes will be awarded to the winner of each age category. The winner’s art will be displayed at the Mississippi Welcome Center through December.

WILD GAME COOKOFF:

This year’s wild game of choice is deer. For information on participating in the Cookoff, please contact Wil Seal at (601) 431-0674.

T-SHIRTS:

T-shirts will be available for purchase in the next few weeks on our website and at the festival.

Youth Shirts $20
Adult Shirts $25

ADMISSION FEE:

As a way to welcome our community back, there will be no admission fee this year for the “kickoff”.

Admission will be charged in 2023 when the “festival” is back in full swing.

For any questions, please e-mail Whitney Seal at [email protected].

We can’t wait to see you, Woodville!
