COLLINS, Miss. (WDAM) - Organizers of the Okatoma Festival on Saturday are more than pleased with the number of visitors who came to town.

“People were parked for blocks and blocks away and the crowd continued to come into 7 o’clock, so it was a wonderful day,” said Marie Shoemake, executive director of the Covington County Chamber of Commerce. “The weather was perfect and people were ready to get out.”
