Poultry Days

Poultry Days is a festival in Versailles, Ohio that celebrates the heritage of the poultry producing industry of Versailles, which dates back to the early 1900s. At one time Versailles called itself "Poultry Capital of the World". The festival began officially in 1951 (and possibly earlier) as a one-day community picnic, and has evolved into a three-day festival. The Village of Versailles holds the festival annually at Versailles High School where a giant "Beer Tent" is erected on one of the main arteries into the village. Rides, parades and contests are held, including the "Miss Chick" contest for high school age young ladies and a "Little Miss Poultry Days" contest for girls ages 4–6. More than 25,000 "World Famous Poultry Days Barbecue Chicken Dinners" are served. The 1967 festival was noted for the creation of a gigantic omelette cooked with 90 dozen eggs. The 3-day festival also includes one of the world's largest Ultimate tournaments, the Jeff Warrick Poultry Days Ultimate Classic. Dale Wilker and his friends started the tournament with just two teams, in honor of and it has now grown to include dozens of teams from the United States and internationally. In 1983 George Wendt ("Norm Peterson" from Cheers) came to Versailles to act as the Honorary Festival Leader. He came to thank Don Wick, a Versailles High School counselor who successfully created a campaign to save Cheers from being canceled after its first season. After his duties as Festival Leader were over, Wendt went around to the local bars and drank with the patrons.
