Mike the Headless Nicken, or Kraken, or Chicken

This weekend in Fruita, Colorado The Mike the Headless Chicken festival will be held.

In 1954 a farmer was beheading his season's chickens when one of his chickens stayed alive an unusually long time. he realized it was still alive the next day and decided to take it on the road for some profit. Scientist say that since the chickens brain stem was still intact and his esophagus was still functioning along with one ear, so Mike the Headless Chicken lived, though he had to be fed with a syringe and gooey foods.

This year the Mike the Headless Chicken Festival will be attracting some of the biggest crowds ever with art, music, Peep eating contests, chicken eating contests, and other chicken-themed games, plus other fun festival stuff.

So go there!

Wait! Too late! It took me too long to write this because I procrastinated, so the festival already happened........ 3 weeks ago.

I tire of this.
