Perry Troutman and her grandmother, Marion Dandy, wear chicken hats made by students of Tracy Troutman, an art teacher at Fair Street Elementary School. Proceeds from the hats and scarves raise money for fifth-graders to go to Tybee Island and study coastal Georgia, Tracy Troutman said.
Floats decorated with a poultry theme and chicken doused with a plethora of barbecue sauce are only a couple of items visitors to downtown Gainesville can experience Saturday, April 25, at the Spring Chicken Festival. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the city’s square. Activities will include a parade, barbecue chicken cook-off and art market titled “ReHatched.”
