Title A name given to the resource Festival name register to avoid another change Description An account of the resource "Another stumbling block was jumped by the Turner County festival committee last week. The committee voted several weeks ago to officially name the festival the 'Wiregrass Festival.' ... Mr. Leatherwood said he received a call from a man living in Quitman who said that city recently held its first-ever Wiregrass Festival. This could present a conflict. The Turner County committee decided last week to incorporate under the name 'Wiregrass Festival' and thereby copyright that name for Turner County's event. Quitman then could not specifically use 'Wiregrass Festival' as its festival name, although a variation on that name is possible."
