WAYNE, Neb. -- An annual northeast Nebraska tradition wrapped up its 43rd edition on Sunday.

The three-day Wayne Chicken Show kicked off on Friday with Henoween, which included a live "banjo chicken puppet show".

The event's first two days also included a parade, fireworks, artwork, and several contests -- including eating competitions, the best "chicken legs", and the popular "cluck off".

A car show and Wayne County Museum tours were included in Sunday's final day of festivities.

The 2023 version of the Wayne Chicken Show was themed "Eggscaliber," taking inspiration from the mythical sword of King Arthur.
