Versailles Poultry Days announces 2021 Theme
The 2021 Poultry Days festival theme is "A Village of Champions,
Honoring Those Who Make Us Great!" This theme is inspired by the many
everyday “champions” who make up our community… first responders,
healthcare workers, laborers and business owners, to name a few. Our
area has farmers to feed us, teachers to educate the young, and
military to protect our families. What would our village be without
utility workers, postal employees, coaches and religious leaders? Look
around and see our talented performing artists, musicians, athletes,
and FFA members who contribute to our community’s success. Together, we
all do our part to make Versailles great and it is time to celebrate
our champions! Who would you consider a champion?
We would like to see participation from a wide variety of champions in
the Grand Parade. So, think of your everyday champions and their
accomplishments and let’s honor them! As usual, floats of all kinds are
welcome to participate in the parade. The Poultry Days Board is
counting on you to make the parade fun and exciting with the help of
your creativity! The theme artwork is being drafted by Versailles
native, Ben Bey, and will be released soon. Preparations for a
successful Poultry Days 2021 are well underway!
This year’s Festival Chairman, Brent Pepple, has been on the Poultry
Days Board of Directors for 8 years. Brent is employed at Midmark as a
Senior Engineering Manager. He is a 2006 graduate of Versailles High
School, earning his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from
The Ohio State University and Master’s Degree in Business
Administration from Wright State University. Brent resides in
Versailles with his wife Emily (Frey), and sons Tate and Callen. Emily
also served on the Poultry Days Committee for three years. The Pepples
are excited for a safe and enjoyable festival for all!
The Versailles 70th Annual Poultry Days Festival will be held June 11,
12, and 13, 2021. As one of Ohio’s oldest festivals, this event
celebrates the area’s poultry-producing history. The board welcomes
everyone to visit Versailles and enjoy the festival. Registration
information for Miss Chick and other festival events will be posted as
available at www.versaillespoultrydays.com.
