More than 1,000 volunteers help the
festival run smoothly. “There are so many
behind-the-scenes helpers,” Fletcher says.
“We know the Chicken Show is also the

Nebraska ranks seventh among
the states in egg production,

Wayne native, recently relocated, with their
three children, from California. “We came

raise chickens, so they could watch them and
learn how to act like a chicken,” Rethwisch

pretended to lay eggs and they made up
chicken songs, so they can compete next

year and put on a performance." ★
