March 19 - Wild Chicken Festival - Fitzgerald, GA The interview on WALB went well Wednesday the 16th. If you missed it you can see it on our video page. |
This was an excellent start of our eighth season. We had the end cap at the North end of South Main Street where we fit perfectly. Our Eggzibit was the ideal size to allow the other vendors to squeeze in and out during set up; yet not let the area look empty or under filled. The festival organizers left us just right amount of space between us and the other vendors so as not to blast them away. |
Chester the Jester made a brief reappearance after his year sabbatical. Isaac, our Americana Rooster, and Tom Brown, our brown Turken Rooster, debuted this year. |
April 2 - Georgia Folklife Festival - Tifton, GA at the Georgia Museum of Agriculture & Historic Village (Agrirama) Sponsors of the Poultry Palace Shows are: Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College Tractor Supply Company of Tifton, Ga |
This was one of those events that was so pleasant that nothing bothered us. It sprinkled a little at the beginning, but the sun soon emerged and bathed everyone with its wonderful Springtime warmth. The Staff was more than helpful and the crowds consisted of some of the friendliest people we ever met. I just wish we weren't working so we could have seen all the wonderful demonstrations performed throughout the day. |
Hollywood is the most personable roosters we've ever had. While waiting at the train station he made lots of new friends. Once on the train he relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. |
Thanks for the great hospitality! Having our lunches delivered to the coop was exceptional. Every time we turned around there was a volunteer eager to help from watering the chickens to entertaining Abby. |
Even though we were in the Children's Area, I do believe we had more adults in our audiences than children most of the time. They kept me on my toes with wonderful questions about backyard flock keeping after each show. We didn't get many pictures of ourselves this time, so if you did, and feel like sharing, send them to us or post them on Facebook at Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival or Friends of the Poultry Palace Chickens. |
April 16 - Spring Fling & Backyard BBQ Festival - Moultrie, GA Sponsors of our Poultry Palace Shows are: Baell Mercantile (229)985-515 <> 550 1st NE, Moultrie, GA 31768 Stones Home Center of Moultrie (229)985-1032 <> 139 US Hwy 319 South, Moultrie, GA 31768 |
The early morning down pour put everyone a little behind schedule setting up; and the forecast of thunderstorms kept the streets pretty clear for the first two hours. Soon the sky cleared and the crowds came out. |
Abby spent a lot of time in the shade of a nearby tree with her buddy Hollywood. Many passersby took photos of them as they relaxed and watched the mechanical bull. |

The weather was hot, but not intolerable. A lot of people stood in the sun to watch the show. The most common comment was "I've learned more about chickens in the last fifteen minutes than I learned my entire life." And they had fun at the same time! |
Special thanks to our sponsors and the generous donation from Tractor Supply Company of Thomasville. |
May 3 - SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARLEE! |
We heard that Marlee of Albany was a really big fan of the our website so she got a surprise visit from a few of the chickens for her birthday! Hollywood, Little Red, Goldylocks, and Greenback Dollar all dropped by for a spell to wish Marlee a wonderful day! |
We still aren't sure who enjoyed the visit the most. Marlee, her dad, or Holllywood. (He really liked the dog food!) |
These two events show off the versatility of the Poultry Palace, especially since they were both on the same day. Each event was only an hour away from home; but they were in opposite directions. They were both repeat performances; but opposite demographics. We brought smiles across Georgia from age 3 to 93 today; and had a great time doing it! |
Mere words cannot describe our experience at this event. We have always bragged on our integrity and kept the show going through all sorts of weather. This time it was a bit too much. |
Everything was going fine until shortly after 11:00, then... The Wind and The Rain! Everyone suffered some kind of loss. Two of my speakers fell into a newly developed lake. As soon as everything calmed down I reconfigured my sound system and switched to battery power. |
We are making plans to try again next year. Thanks to those who helped us hold down our tent during the storm and for the assistance from the festival organizers who helped us pack up our stuff. Most off all; thanks to all of you vendors who kept up a good spirit and smiled while running away;) |
We encouraged everyone to stay and enjoy what was left. Many vendors were picking up the pieces and settling back in when a weather report of 60mph gusts and HAIL were on the way. That concluded the Carrot Festival. |
Here is a brief description of our events of Spring 2011 with lots of pictures! |
