The Poultry
Days Social Tent Promises Another Great Weekend!
Poultry Days 2015 will continue with the largest party in the area and
an incredible line of musicians. Nine live musical acts offer
sounds ranging from familiar festival tunes to alternative rock, to
popular country to solo acoustic. With a Social Tent that
can hold 2,000 people you can choose to be up front by the music or at
a quiet table by the craft bar. If you want to be in the sunshine
or under the stars we will offer more table seating in 2015 with ten
more freshly built picnic tables increasing our seating capacity to
200. When you want a cold beverage, the festival will offer our
ice cold canned Mich-Ultra and Busch Light in addition to Bud
Light. The craft bar will increase their flavors including Shock
Top Lemon Shandy, Johnny Appleseed and Honkers Ale. If beer isn’t
your thing, five flavors of “a-ritas” will be available at the craft
bar and a wide selection of wines from The Winery at Versailles such as
Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Muscatto, Sparkling, Rodeo Red as well as
Sangria wine cocktails and wine/jello shots.
