Poultry Days
Releases Theme Art
Poultry Days released Theme Art this week for their 65th annual Poultry
Days. The 2016 theme is “A Salute to the American Farmer”
recognizing the hard working farmers and agricultural businesses that
keep our poultry and agriculture tradition alive.
In celebration of our 65th Anniversary, the Poultry Days Board of
Directors extends an invitation to all past Poultry Days Miss Chicks,
Little Miss Poultry Days and Poultry Days Festival Chairmen to
participate in the Grand Parade. The Grand Parade will be held
Saturday June 11th at 11: a.m. We would be honored by your
presence. Floats have been organized and we only need your
presence! Please RSVP by May 1, 2016 to: Versailles Poultry Days,
PO Box 108, Versailles, OH 45380 or

address and email. The day of the festival meet the
Versailles Fire Dept. at the corner of Steffin and E. Main Streets by
10:30 a.m. and they will direct you to the staging area. The
Poultry Days festival has enjoyed 65 years of success due to your
efforts. Please allow us to show our appreciation.

copies of the 1953, 1955 and 1958 Poultry Days Programs. Lastly
we are looking for any information regarding Honorary Parade Marshals

information or other pre-1970 Poultry Days photographs, please contact
