The World Catfish Festival has become a major tourist draw to the Mississippi Delta. Because of its reputation as a family-oriented event, the World Catfish Festival has received several awards including Top 100 Events in North America and Top 20 Events of the Southeast.
In addition to the live entertainment, the crowds are entertained with a Little Miss Catfish Pageant, Miss Catfish Pageant, and a catfish eating contest.
Miss Catfish 2018, Nikkie Merchant, stopped by Good Things with Rebecca Turner, to talk about the pageant and catfish farming in Mississippi.
