Chicken and Egg Festival
It doesn’t matter which came first, Road Trips Foodies, this festival celebrates both.
The ninth annual Chicken and Egg Festival set for April 12 through 14, 2013, at the Lions Club Fairgrounds in Moulton, Alabama (map).
This family-friendly fest is an interactive agricultural experience. Daily admission to the festival is $5 per person and children 5 and under are admitted free.
Highlights include a chicken clucking contest (where the audience selects the winner), egg toss competition and eating contests where contestants stuff their faces with chicken wings and hard boiled eggs. At the Down on the Farm area there are agriculture exhibits, antique tractors and southern folk life artists such as quilters, saddle makers, farriers, potters, a blacksmith and basket and broom makers.
It’s sponsored by the Lawrence County Arts Council.
