Have you ever been driving along and smelled chicken barbequing?  Did it make you want chicken or make you start thinking about chicken?  Have you ever seen a frying pan big enough that a man could lay down in it? Well then this weekend you will think  you have died and gone to chicken heaven!

 This weekend is the 61st annual Delmarva Chicken Festival. It returns to Dover at Delaware State University. Did you know that there used to be big parades that accompanied the festival? There were also beauty contests.  Did you know that it is in Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia?

 We have lots of photographs from past festivals. They include the parades, cooking contests, beauty contests, and of course the big frying pan. We also have programs, pamphlets, and newspaper clippings.

 To see more pictures, check out the chicken festival album on our facebook page

For more information regarding the chicken festival you can visit the  Delaware State site or the Delmarva Poulty Industry site.
