Shoals, Indiana - Catfish Festival #2

Profiles of three Shoals, Indiana businesses Velma's Diner, Bo Mac's Drive-In and the Sugar Shack are included in the conclusion to the 55 minute Catfish Festival documentary produced by Duane Busick. Shoals News Editor, Steve Deckard describes the funding of the Shoals fireworks and Donnie Eicks of Circle City Pyrotechnics talks about doing the fireworks display.

The Catfish Festival is a unique Hoosier community celebration that's been going one for over 25 years in the small river community of Shoals, Indiana. The Catfish Festival does just about everything you can think of to celebrate the catfish and the Fourth of July. It's a hometown reunion that embraces patriotism, community pride and the river culture of Shoals, Indiana.

The Catfish Festival helps bring the Shoals community together. This three to four day Fourth of July celebration creates a wonderful sense of community pride that helps to sustain the town of Shoals year-round. Friends and families come home for reunions that celebrate the past, but what the Catfish Festival does to get Shoals looking to the future is what makes this festival really exciting. It offers a glimpse of a simple but rich lifestyle seeped in the river culture of a beautiful countryside and it provides a welcome mat for folks to come to town and stay a while, come back often and maybe even call it home.
