The Winnsboro Rotary Club is hosting its first-ever Franklin Parish Family Week Celebration, a community service project that has the potential to impact the entire Winnsboro/Franklin Parish area. The week-long celebration will be held March 16-22, 2009. The program was created to strengthen families and encourage parents to "Put Family First."
Different events will be held each day during the week, such as
*An art contest for 3rd and 4th graders – Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three winners for artwork which best expresses the students' feelings about putting family first, the family having fun together, a family vacation, or similar family activity.

*Family Night Out – Local restaurants will be providing specials and discounts for families dining together on Family Night on Thursday, March 19th. Special family rates will be available throughout the community.
*Family Fun Festival – Everyone is invited to join in a celebration of family fun at First Baptist Church in Winnsboro on Saturday, March 21 from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. There will be lots of games, food, a magic show, family olympics, awards, and booths set up to provide valuable information about family health awareness, safety, and much more.
*Sacred Music Festival – Everyone is invited to the River of Life Church in Winnsboro on Sunday, March 22, at 6:00 p.m. for an evening of singing, worship, and praise featuring The River of Life Praise Band and Band of Brothers.
