It's that time of year is here! The 57th Annual Poultry Festival is just around the corner, and the 2016 festival, scheduled for June 17-18, is sure to be a great time for all!
For nearly six decades, The Poultry Federation (TPF) has hosted the annual event celebrating the poultry and egg industry with its finest. The poultry industry represents a significant portion of the economy of the tristate region including Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The festival draws members and friends of the industry from all across the country. In 2015, approximately 5,000 tickets were sold to the festival, impacting the Rogers economy by $1.2 million.
Friday, June 17, will be packed with events of your choice including the fishing and golf tournaments, trap shoot and the ladies luncheon. The day will end with the silent and live auctions to raise funds for scholarships.
If you enjoy a nice motorcycle ride, a rally for the biking enthusiasts takes off through the hills of northwest Arkansas on Saturday morning. On-site activities for the day include the barbecue contest, incorporating a 4-H cooking contest, skits and awards, ice cream social and a barbecue dinner.
The lineup for the concert entertainment on Saturday night is an impressive three acts this year! Barrett Baber, The Voice finalist and northwest Arkansas native, will open the show. Sara Evans, a country fan favorite for years, is scheduled for the stage next, with headliner Josh Turner and his deep country vocals ending the show with a bang!
It’ll be a night full of great music that you can sing along with or just kick back and enjoy.
We’ll see you all at the 57th Annual Poultry Festival!
