Poultry Days Festival moves to August
Mark your calendars now! After sixty-eight years the annual
Versailles Poultry Days festival will be held in August. The
annual festival which has been held in June since 1952 will be
rescheduled to the weekend of August 14th. Festival Chairman
Lucas Subler emphasized the importance of continuing this annual
tradition despite recent COVID-19 impacts. “A year without the
festival and chicken dinners would be like a year without Christmas for
many festival goers. We want to do everything possible to
maintain the tradition and support our community organizations.”
Subler continued, “The festival theme of Loaded Up & Cluckin has
special meaning this year.” The 2020 festival theme is a salute
to all those hard-working drivers, dispatchers and mechanics who keep
the freight moving and have contributed to the growth of
Versailles. In the last few months, we have been reminded of the
importance of the transportation industry.
The festival website (versaillespoultrydays.com) will be updated with a
revised festival schedule as decisions are made. Updates will
also be shared via Poultry Days social media pages. We will
continue to monitor state and local COVID-19 guidance.
Questions about specific events should be directed to the event
organizer which are indicated on the website. All general
questions should be directed to poultrydayschairman@gmail.com.
The Poultry Days Board wishes the entire community a safe and healthy
start to the summer, and we look forward to seeing you in August.
The Poultry Days festival was founded in 1952 to celebrate the area’s
history in the poultry industry. Over its history the festival
has sold over one million chicken dinners and provided funding for
numerous community organizations and projects.
