This was asked a few days ago and I made a mental note to answer the question. Then somehow I lost the note.
Yes, Fruita, Colorado, home of Headless Chicken Days
Most of the people around here are not real proud of the title. However, Seems that back in the 50's a local rancher went to "do in" his supper with an axe. He missed his mark by just enough to take the head and leave the brain stem at the base of the neck. He tossed the body of the young roster to the side figuring he would die from his wound. A while later the headless rooster was still standing. At that point he wondered just how long the fowl would live. After a week, or so the news papers picked up the story. And it was'nt long before Life Magazine came and did a story. The farmer fed the chicken with an eyedropper. Then he went on tour with the chicken, side show style. A couple of years later the chicken choked to death.
Now years later, the tiny hamlet of Fruita, Colorado. Mike, the headless chicken is a weekend celebration. With an scrambled egg breakfast, run like a headless chicken foot race, the chicken dance, and other shameless ways to bring lots of people into town to spend their hard earned money.
Really it is a pretty good time, kind of a carnival feel, with bands and beer.
