The Batesburg-Leesville Police Department would like to congratulate the South Carolina Poultry Festival on a very successful 39th Festival!

The weather was perfect, the entertainment was outstanding, and the fireworks show was one of the best yet. It was great to see so many people come together to enjoy this special community tradition.

We would also like to thank the agencies that supported the law enforcement efforts throughout this year’s festival:

South Carolina Law Enforcement Division - SLED
South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
Lexington Police Department
South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services
County of Lexington, SC - Fire Service and Emergency Medical Services
Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE)
Lexington County Sheriff's Department

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Sheriff Jay Koon for providing the support of the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department.

Another special thanks goes out to Wittenberg Lutheran Church. They were gracious and allowed us to utilize their property for our partner agency parking.

Events of this size require teamwork, coordination, and strong partnerships. Without the assistance of these agencies and groups, the festival would not have been as successful.

We appreciate everyone who helped make the 39th South Carolina Poultry Festival a safe and enjoyable event for our community and visitors. We have attached a few sights we captured throughout the event.
