Throngs of people flocked to the 19th Madisonville Wooden Boat Festival recently to tour the many antique wooden boats docked on the banks of the Tchefuncte River.

From face-painting to boat building, to fishing and to undersea exploring, visitors had a bevy of activities to choose from.

Lining the festival grounds on Water Street were dozens of food vendors, craft artisans, photographers and their works, painters and much more.
