We just happened to arrive in Fruita, CO when the Mike the Headless Chicken Festival was in full swing. So, naturally, we had to stop in for a visit. Here's the story. In 1945 a farmer from Fruita, CO, went to cut the head off a chicken to cook it for supper. But when he cut the head off the chicken didn't die. So he got the idea to continue to feed it with an eyedropper and see what happened. Mike lived for 18 months. We enjoyed ourselves at the festival filled with games, music and food. We were even given our own rubber chicken keychain to cut the head off of. Only in small town America. Great fun.
