28th South Carolina Poultry Festival
May 8 - 10, 2014
One morning in 1986, members of the Leesville Merchants Association flocked together to hatch the concept of a town festival. It was Sara Shealy, famous throughout the region for eggs-traordinary fried chicken served in her Batesburg-Leesville restaurant, who courageously proposed the development of a Poultry Festival for the Lexington County community. After much clucking and crowing, the head rooster called for a vote and the Poultry Festival was hatched. Enjoy 6 stages of continuous entertainment, 30 food vendors, a carnival, 110 plus unit parade, 120 plus crafters and more than 30 commercial vendors. We look forward to seeing you at the  # 1 World’s Best Chicken Cooking Contest! Click here for additional information.
