Leader photo by CALEB DANIEL The Dubach Restoration and Beautification Organization successfully revived the Louisiana Chicken Festival on Friday and Saturday for its 32nd iteration after a year’s hiatus. Pictured above are some of the drumstick-eating contest competitors, including the winner Tanner Dotson (third from left).
The older division of the Strut, Cackle and Crow contest was an energetic affair of chicken impersonations. Pictured left to right are participants Lauren Dixon (second place), Dubach Police Chief Don Dufour (first place), Lee Ann Humble (third place) and Avery Dixon.
The Luna Chicks dance group provided face decorating services at their booth at the Chicken Festival. Pictured is Ie'lycia Johnson getting her face done.
Some were willing while others were coaxed, but eventually the kids' division of the Strut, Cackle and Crow contest filled out its roster and featured some valiant attempts at chicken impersonation.
The Dark Rose Band graced the main stage of the Chicken Festival with a variety of covers Saturday morning.
Craft vendors, food trucks and more lined East Hico Street and Main Street throughout the festival.
