Scott Stowers of the Gainesville Fire Department prepares a fresh batch of the department’s “controlled burn” hot wings at last year’s Spring Chicken Festival in downtown Gainesville.
This weekend, downtown Gainesville will be a flurry of activities proving why Hall County is the “Poultry Capital of the World.” Where else will you find an entire festival dedicated to the yard bird? The annual Spring Chicken Festival will open at 10 a.m. Saturday on the downtown square with an opening ceremony that includes a welcome from Gainesville Mayor Danny Dunagan and the “Star Spangled Banner” performed by McKenna Brandenburg.
