Versailles Poultry Days
Rock -n- Roll All Night & Poultry Every
Day!
In advance of the upcoming festival, and to allow parade and festival
preparation, the Poultry Days Board is proud to share the 2019 theme
artwork. The 2019 festival theme is “Rock -n- Roll All Night &
Poultry Every Day!” Think early 1970’s hair bands, rock and roll
with a poultry twist! 2019 Festival Chairman Alex Luthman shared
“The theme to me brings to light what I think of when Poultry Days
comes to mind. The music, party, and of course the chicken! What a
great opportunity we have to raise thousands of dollars for local
organizations in the Versailles area and fund Heritage Park by putting
on the county’s biggest festival!”
The 2019 art work was created by local resident and Versailles High
School graduate, Quincy Baltes. Quincy is currently studying Animation
and Storyboarding at the Savannah College of Art and Design in
Savannah, Georgia. He is also exploring the worlds of Motion Media,
Illustration, Sequential Art, and Performing Arts. Along with Quincy
Baltes’ work on the theme artwork and festival logo, another local
graduate has been supporting the festival. Morgan Turpen is a
2015 graduate of Versailles and studying graphic design under the
University of Cincinnati’s DAAP Program. Morgan has recently opened her
own business, Turpen Design, and contributes her time to designing
festival signs and graphics. Ben Ahrens is another Versailles alum and
also a graduate of Ball State University. Ben has been working to
support and update the festival website. The Poultry Days Board
is excited to involve local graduates in the festival and see their
creativity support the community.
The 68th annual festival will be held June 14, 15, and 16th 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
