Delmarva Chicken Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Delmarva Chicken Festival is an annual event sponsored by Delmarva Poultry Industry, Inc. The two-day event hosted in various locales on Delmarva features trade shows, arts and crafts, carnival, entertainment, and food concessions. Chicken is, of course, the featured food, but boardwalk fries, corn-on-the-cob, funnel cake, ice cream, kettle corn, and fresh-squeezed lemonade are other local favorites. Nearly three tons of chicken are cooked each year in the world's largest frying pan. The pan made its debut at the second annual festival in 1950. The 57th Annual Delmarva Chicken Festival takes place June 23rd and 24th, 2006 in Snow Hill, Maryland, United States.
