Want A Chicken For Your Yard? Check Out Hawthorne Country Store’s 15th Annual Chick Day!

We weren’t expecting this story to come across our desk…but I guess we’re out of touch! People are flocking with excitement over Hawthorne Country Store’s 15th Annual Chick Day!

As egg prices go up and the slow food movement continues to gain ground in Southern California, home flocks continue to expand in the hearts and yards of Southern Californians in both rural and urban areas. So chickens are in demand, and Hawthorne Country Store expects another record turnout for this event!

A special addition to this year’s event, hot glass and mixed media artist, James Stone of Stone & Glass, will be making glass art come to life during the Chick Day festivities. Just steps away in his glass studio on-site, James Stone will be bringing an art element to the day with specialty made glass chicks that celebrate the country lifestyle.

Stone is best known for his use of color, and his unique process of casting glass hot out of the furnace. Each piece has a long creation cycle and requires a great deal of time, talent, and experience.

Hawthorne Country Store expects another record-breaking year as hundreds of attendees come out early for a first chance at the unique chick breeds the event offers.
