Milford is an old hand at hosting
chicken festivals, having had three
during the 1980’s. It takes ad
vantage of them to hold a parade,
work out the local civic groups and
show off the town. Milford’s
Chamber of Commerce led the way
this year under the direction of its
president, Jack Nylund.
The stars of the show this year
were three chickens and a young
man who came to America by way
of China. The birds were Blue Hens
which made their first appearance
at a chicken festival and gave
Delawareans and their many
guests a chance to see for the
first time for most just what the
famous Blue Hen is.
The young man was Martin Yan,
who is no stranger to TV viewers
who have enjoyed his PBS show
“Yan Can Cook.” Mr. Yan played
to packed audiences with his
demonstrations of comedy,
slapstick and kitchen wizardry. Of
course, he featured chicken in all
of them as did others participating
in a consumer food show, “Chicken
The Health Choice.”
The consumer show emphasized
that chicken is considered to be the
standard meat for modern, low fat
and low cholesterol diets.
Another festival event, “Chicken
Capers,” proved it has come of age
