Although it was an unusually chilly South Florida evening, the atmosphere inside was warm and inviting. Audience members and contestants alike filled the space with laughter, joy, and heartfelt reflections on the strength and beauty of our culture.
Bobby Henry served as host, delivering an engaging and entertaining performance. “Bobby was the perfect host for Family Feud and reminded me of Steve Harvey with his purple suit and quick-witted humor,” said contestant Juliet Gray-Williams, referencing the iconic Steve Harvey, host of the syndicated TV version of Family Feud.
Serving as co-hostess and game master, Janice Hayes encouraged spirited competition among the teams while reminding participants that they were already winners because of their enduring legacy of hope, faith, and family. The competing teams included the Black Brilliants, the Charming Charmettes, the Doolings, the Hope Hustlers, the Real Generation, and the WSG Family.
Henrietta Davis, President of the Sistrunk Historical Organization, was the visionary behind this phenomenal event. Her goal was to provide the community with a shared space to reflect, reminisce, and celebrate its history and culture in the days leading up to the upcoming Sistrunk Festival, scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2026.
“We are thrilled that our inaugural Sistrunk Family Feud event was such a tremendous success,” Henrietta Davis shared with a smile. “We plan to patent it and establish it as an annual tradition, serving as a prelude to the Festival for generations to come. So, start organizing your family teams now to compete in the next Sistrunk Family Feud!”
