Versailles Poultry Days 2019
And Poultry Every Day!
Poultry Days will be celebrated June 14th-16th in Versailles with a
theme of “Rock -n- Roll All Night & Poultry Every Day!” Think early
1970’s hair bands, rock and roll with a poultry twist! Last year
28,420 dinners were sold pushing the total sold over one million.
30,000 dinners have been ordered and the dinner price will remain
$8.00. Dinners include half of a slow barbecue chicken with a secret
recipe, Mikesell’s chips, applesauce, roll and the traditional orange
drink. Sales begin at 3:30 Friday, 11:30 Saturday and 11:00
Sunday. Plan to come early because we can sell out
early.
