Poultry Days will be celebrated June 14th-16th in Versailles with a theme of “Rock -n- Roll All Night & Poultry Every Day!” Think early 1970’s hair bands, rock and roll with a poultry twist! Last year 28,420 dinners were sold pushing the total sold over one million. 30,000 dinners have been ordered and the dinner price will remain $8.00. Dinners include half of a slow barbecue chicken with a secret recipe, Mikesell’s chips, applesauce, roll and the traditional orange drink. Sales begin at 3:30 Friday, 11:30 Saturday and 11:00 Sunday. Plan to come early because we can sell out early.
