Versailles Poultry Days

Poultry Days is an annual community festival which began in 1952 to celebrate the area’s history as a leading poultry-producer and is held the second full weekend in June. Arrive early to enjoy one of our World-Famous chicken dinners. Since 1952 this village of less than 3,000 people has sold 1,041,685 of these delicious dinners. Last year 35,500 dinners were sold, but arrive early as they can sell quickly.
