It was a hot and steamy parade for the Poultry Festival in Batesburg-Leesville last Saturday. Pictured from top left and going clockwise: Kids and actors from the play Aladdin ride in the parade while friends cool in the shade. Girl Scouts dressed as yellow chickens walk in the parade. Twin sisters Finley and Harper Stephens give their best smiles at the Poultry Festival. A vendor with a funny shirt barbecues chicken. Dot Oswald and Linda Shealy enjoy a Blooming Onion at the festival while a zombie rides a chicken during the parade.
