By
Real Estate Agent with Realty ONE Group

The Birds are Back! The ostriches, that is. Chandler has it's annual Ostrich Festival every March and it starts today. Gates open at 2PM and will close at Midnight. Saturday's hours are 10am - Midnight and Sunday 10am - 11 PM.

The Ostrich Festival features Ostrich Races, Petting Zoo, Dock Dogs, A Monkey Show, Carnival Rides, Vendor Booths, Food Booths and of course Live Music. This year's Musical Talents include Tonic, Blue Oyster Cult and The Marshall Tucker Band.

If you haven't explored Chandler and The Ostrich Festival, I highly recommend it. It is a safe and clean environment with a small farm town feel. Fun for all ages.

Haha, an ostrich festival, that sounds awesome Betsie. Whoever came up with this idea sure deserves a medal for creativity. I'd be there for sure if I was in the area.

Oh, I just noticed that the mascot for the festival looks suspiciously like a roadrunner though. Hmmmm. Meep meep.

Yep. It does kind of look like our roadrunners, just much much bigger. Ha Ha. It is the 24th Annual Ostrich Festival if you can believe it. The founder of our Town A.J. Chandler used to raise Ostriches so someone decided that they should make it a festival. It is actually pretty fun. Thanks for all the comments.
