Coop visitors to gawk at bawking chickens

Published 5:00 am Tuesday, March 29, 2011

The second annual Chicken Coop Tour in Bend will be held May 7.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., participants will be able to tour about 30 chicken coops in Central Oregon.

About 15 stops have been identified, and planners seek more birds of a feather who would like to make their coops a stop on the tour. The event benefits Together For Children, Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center and NeighborImpact Food Bank.

Tour booklets serve as tickets and map to coops, at a price of $10 or six items of nonperishable food per booklet, which covers entry for a carload of people.

Organizers also seek sponsors for the event. Sponsorship levels range from $50 to $250.
