Thank you to our 2011 Chicken Week Sponsors!
June 18th - June 25th is Wasatch Community Gardens' Chicken Week. Chicken Week is an opportunity for Wasatch Community Gardens and the Salt Lake City community to celebrate the joy of urban "eggriculture." Sign-up for multiple chicken week events for a week of fun, or come to one or both of the tours to see chicken keeping in action. There are discounts available for signing up for both tours.
