History of Poultry Day
The holiday began in 1951 in the small town of Versailles, Ohio, and had grown in popularity each year. What started as a single-day event eventually became a full weekend celebration, complete with barbecue pits, beer tents, and even the world’s largest omelette pan.
Poultry Day was a crucial event for Versailles, Ohio, as it brought in a significant influx of people and income. The festival took place in Heritage Park, a 40-acre space that included shelter houses, ponds, sports fields, and a walking track. The event’s proceeds helped fund the park’s maintenance and make donations to important charities, totalling over $700,000 in the past ten years before the infection.
