POULTRY DAYS 2021 ~ June 11, 12, 13
POULTRY DAYS SAYS THANK YOU!!
On behalf of the Poultry Days Committee I would like to thank the Versailles Community for your support of this year’s festival. After poor weather last year, we thought 2020 would be easier and instead COVID forced the cancellation of social portion of the festival. While the planning and re-planning of the festival was extremely challenging, we always had community support.
Personally, I would like to thank this year’s chairmen and board for doing on outstanding job despite the challenges. When the festival was rescheduled to August, we set goals of selling enough chicken to fund Heritage Park and maintaining as many festival traditions as possible. As a community we were successful in achieving both goals.
Most importantly, thank you to my wife Courtney and my children for their support and understanding when I was away from home for yet another festival meeting.
Please mark your calendars for the 70th annual Versailles Poultry Days to be held June 11-13, 2021.
Thank You
Lucas Subler
2020 Festival Chairman
