Why a Chicken & Egg Festival?
According to Alabama Department of Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan, agriculture is the number one industry in Alabama. It employs over 476,000 people, which is roughly 21% of the states work force. Furthermore, producing over 1 billion birds a year, Alabama is the #3 producer in the nation. The Lawrence County Arts Council has once again joined forces with the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, Alabama Cooperative Extension Services, Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and the Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Travel to promote and educate the patrons on the economic impact and health values of poultry and eggs.
