September Is Chickfest Time

Posted

September has arrived! That means it is time to start planning your baby chick. Clinton was, at one time, the baby chick capital of the world. Hatcheries in the area raised chicks to send throughout the country. The Gallery Three celebrates this piece of local history with a Peepfest. We are asking area artists to create a baby chick. This year ‘Anything Goes’. Chicks may be painted, sculpted, sketched, photographed, made from clay, paper, wire...let the imagination run with it. The only limitation is the size, no chicks over 3x3 feet or under 3x3 inches. All chicks need to be turned in to the Gallery Three at 137 S. Washington by Saturday September 30th. They will then be displayed around the square for voting. The ‘People’s Choice’ will select two winners, one for school age & one for adults. There is no fee for entering.
