[EAA1563]: Gordonsville Chicken Festival 10/3
From the Director of Community and Economic Development, “I know that everyone’s watching the weather, so this is your reminder that the Fried Chicken Festival is a rain or shine event. Because the entire festival is on asphalt (not grass), rain will not lead to a cancellation. Please come prepared for Virginian weather.” Please see the attached information.
