THE DAILY LEADER / RHONDA DUNAWAY / Wesson’s Founder’s Day parade Saturday morning on Highway 51 included a float from the children’s ministry of Sylvarena Baptist Church of Hazlehurst.

A crowd favorite at the Wesson Founder’s Day parade was the “Wesson Hillbillies” float.

Many of the floats in Wesson’s Founders Day parade were horse-drawn carriages or wagons, including this group with Beauregard United Methodist Church of Wesson.
