High school graduates aren’t the only ones dressing up this week.
The Bainbridge Island 4-H Club will be hosting its annual Poultry Pageant from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 11 at the Bainbridge Island Farmers Market in Town Square.
“The Poultry Pageant has always been one of our most popular events of the year,” said Peter Weber, market president and owner of Farmhouse Organics. “The market thinks it’s important to support the local 4-H Club and it’s a wonderful way to get youngsters involved.”
Voting will begin at 11:45 a.m. and close at 12:15 p.m. Awards will be given at 12:30 for top entries in a variety of categories, including international, cutest, fairy tale, food, inanimate object and most delicious.
Other Poultry Pageant family events include “Foul Bingo,” a petting zoo, crowing contest, egg toss and the legendary “Fowl Fortune Telling.”
The Saturday market will remain outside at Town Square from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Dec. 17. It features an abundance of locally grown produce, plants, flowers, eggs, honey and wine, as well as artisan crafts, including wearables and jewelry, art glass, woodcraft, metal craft and garden art, paintings, pastries, pottery, and hot food items from more than 30 vendors.
