Earth Day Fair

[Photo of cat face decoration on hen pen has nothing to do with Earth Day, just thought you should see it] Goldilocks and Hildegarde were the belles of the ball at the Earth Day celebration at Cornerstone Art Center on the Colorado College campus. Hildegarde: The crowd really loved me. The photographers were pushing and shoving to get close shots. Did they take one of you, Goldilocks? Goldilocks: Sure they did. How could they resist my golden feathers? Everyone knew exactly who I was. They saw our nametags and all knew which I was. Hildegarde: Oh, Goldie dear, of course they did. (cough, cough) Goldilocks: The kids always chose me as their favorite. Hildegarde: Oh really? It was the adults who chose me. They recognized my incredibly subtle coloring and feather arrangement. Goldilocks: I wouldn’t be so sure they were choosing you for your feathers. I heard them talking about KFC.

On Our Way to the Earth Day Fair

Hildegarde and Goldilocks have been preening all day, every day in preparation for their excursion to the Cornerstone Art Center at Colorado College for the Earth Day Fair. Hildegarde has been so nervous she has been unable to lay her normal one blue egg per day but she will not let anyone see she is nervous. “ I don’t know when I’ve had such stage fright. Me? After all my years on Broadway? Getting top billing is such a responsibility. I’ve had to learn all ‘her‘ lines too, just to be sure the play goes on.” Goldilocks has been in a ditter. “Oh, dear, oh, dear, do you think I need to wear shoes? You know how I hate to wear shoes. They never fit right and I never walk right in them. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.” Rosie and Lacey, the two hens who will not be going to the fair have been as kind as possible (not very), trying to hide their envy, giggling quitely and only occasionally pulling on Hildegarde’s feathers, or tripping Goldilocks as she runs past. Hildegarde to Lacey “ Dearrrr, you need not wear shoes. We will be indoors in a very lovely building…..and, the only shoes you have would not be appropriate.” Lacey asks “What’s wrong with my shoes? Everybody I see wears rubber galoshes. They must be in style.” Fans of TheThreeChickenFarm Come to The Cornerstone Art Center at Cascade & Cache le Poudre, Saturday, April 25 from 10-3 to visit these funny chickens. They will be at the Earth Group booth.

Somebody is going to Earth Day

Somebody is going to Earth Day...

"Whaddaya think that means?" "I don't know, doesn't sound good." "Yeah, but it doesn't sound exactly bad." "Well, 'earth' is good; 'day' is good, but I think 'going' might be trouble."

"We have nothing to wear!"
