| The poultry department has one of the largest poultry shows
in the northeast. Our show consists of many species of waterfowl,
fancy show birds and a large assortment of bantams. Competitions
in turkeys, ornamental and racing pigeons, laying birds and eggs
are very popular, with everyone thinking that theirs is the best.
All competitors hope that their bird will make the "Court of
Honor" where we display the "best of the best." The part
of the poultry building that is the most sought after is the chick
hatchery. All during the fair we have eggs hatching and baby
chicks on display. This is our busiest area and people spend
hours waiting for their special egg to hatch. Natures miracle of
life is on display for all to see. Another popular activity that
our young fair visitors really enjoy is feeding the birds. Last
but not least is the hen flying and cock crowing contests that
take place on the second Saturday of the fair, come and root home
your favorites.
So, stop by the Poultry Building and see the show. |
