After nearly two years without a parade, Poultry Days plans to offer two! The Grand Parade will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday June 12th. All registration for the Grand Parade will be online at VersaillesPoultryDays.com. Awards will be given for Junior Civic, Senior Civic, Commercial, Theme Award, Queen’s Trophy, Mayor’s Trophy and Chairman’s Choice. The deadline for registering for the Grand Parade is May 21st. Email PoultryDaysParade@yahoo.com with any questions about the Grand Parade.
The 2021 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. We encourage 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. The Poultry Days Board is counting on you to make the parade fun and exciting with the help of your creativity!
The Antique Car Parade will be held on Sunday, June 13th at 2:30 pm. Registration for this parade is $9 and will be at the corner of Euclid & South Center St. from 10:00am to 12:30pm the day of the event. The parade will be preceded by an antique vehicle display which will be held on S. Center Street adjacent to the festival grounds. Entrants will receive a chicken dinner ticket and parade plaque. Vehicles must be at least 20 years old. Due to construction on Virginia Street this year, the display and parade will only include antique cars and trucks. Details for the Antique Car Parade can be found at VersaillesPoultryDays.com or email PdaysClassicCarParade@yahoo.com.
Poultry Days will be following all local guidance when conducting the parades as it relates to the health and safety of our guests. A full festival schedule including opportunity to register for the Grand Parade, Miss Chick, and purchase bulk chicken is available at VersaillesPoultryDays.com.
