Versailles Poultry Days
2016 Theme:
Salute to The American Farmer
The Poultry Days committee extends invitations to past Royalty;
searches for past photos and programs
In advance of the upcoming festival, and to allow parade and festival
goers to prepare, the Poultry Days Board is proud to announce the 2016
theme, which recognizes the hard working farmers who keep our poultry
and agricultural tradition alive. The 2016 theme is “A
Salute to the American Farmer”.
The 65th annual festival will be held June 10, 11, and 12th in
Versailles Ohio. One of Ohio’s oldest festivals, this event
celebrates the area’s poultry producing history as well as its sense of
community. The board welcomes everyone to come enjoy the
festival. Registration information for the parade and other
festival events will be posted as available at
www.versaillespoultrydays.com
