Poultry Days Barbecue Moving Forward
Versailles will offer is its 69th annual Poultry Days barbecue on
August 14-16th, 2020. While COVID related restrictions didn’t
allow the social portions of the festival the community is moving
forward with the annual barbecue. This community of 2,800 plans
to sell 20,000 chicken dinners over the weekend. Join us in
celebrating the 69th Annual Versailles Poultry Days, August 14-16th,
2020.
The Poultry Days festival is rooted in 69 years of community and family
involvement. The festival has always been about neighbors,
family, friends, classmates, and community coming together. The
circumstances of 2020 will not change that. Even though Poultry
Days will not host a large gathering, we encourage the community to
responsibly embrace the spirit of the Poultry Days Festival. Get
out your chicken decorations. Invite your friends and
neighbors. Set up lawn chairs and games for the kids.
Rekindle old friendships. And most importantly, enjoy that World
Famous Poultry Days chicken!
Versailles is extremely proud that despite cancelling the social
portion of the festival and COVID restrictions the festival has adapted
and plans to sell a very impressive 20,000 dinners. Each dinner
costs $8.00 and is sized for a single meal with half a chicken,
Mike-Sells potato chips, Roll, Butter, Applesauce and the traditional
Chilly Willy Orange Drink. All dinners will be assembled and
distributed by volunteers wearing the appropriate PPE and in compliance
with a plan approved by the Darke County Health Dept. Chicken
sales will be at Heritage Park with cars entering the drive through
from the north on Klipstine Road. There will not be a walk-up
chicken line. The Chicken Drive Thru will open at 3:30 on Friday,
11:30 on Saturday and 11:00 on Sunday. Please come early because
we plan to sell out each day.
