For a 45th time, the regional spotlight will shine directly on the City of Claxton as thousands flock to the annual Claxton Rattlesnake and Wildlife Festival, formerly the Rattlesnake Roundup, for two days of activities beginning this weekend. To phrase it differently, “Things are about to get wild in Claxton,” said Bruce Purcell, Club President of the Evans County Wildlife Club, who hosts the yearly affair. Wilder than ever, if the amount and variety of furry guests means anything.
