CENTREVILLE — — With a gentle breeze blowing and temperatures in the low 80s, it
was mild for a June afternoon on the Eastern Shore, but adjacent to the main attraction at the Queen Anne's County 4-H Park, it was hot as blazes.John Draper stood next to a 650-pound frying pan, stirring 140 pieces of chicken in 160 gallons of bubbling soybean oil with a pair of giant tongs.

Why the last time? Is Delmarva embarrassed about it's chicken industry?
ReplyDeleteNot "cool" enough for America's "coolest" town?
Why?
Sad. This has been a proud celebration of a proud business here on the Shore for all these years. Now, it's being trashed by the EPA.
ReplyDeleteGod bless all our Eastern Shore Farmers and their families.
What does Berlin and the EPA have to do with the Chicken Festival? It is ending due to lack of interest. The times are changing. This isn't 1972 any more and people have lost interest in the Delmarva Chicken Festival. "The World's Largest Frying Pan" has lost it's appeal. What should they do apply for taxpayer funding? If the poultry industry needed it then Perdue or Tyson would underwrite it.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to admit it,but I've never been to a chicken festival.
ReplyDeleteWhat should I do with the slides and photos of parades and floats of festivals past
