Come out and see us today at Pound House Farmstead for Pioneer Days! We’re fired up and cooking all day, and we’d love for you to come out, enjoy some great food, and be part of an amazing community event.

Every purchase and all proceeds from today’s event are going right back to Pound House Farmstead to help support and preserve this special place for the community.

A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who worked hard behind the scenes and made today possible. Events like this don’t happen without the time, energy, and dedication of people willing to jump in and help. We appreciate each and every one of you!

Come hungry, bring your family and friends, and spend the day with us. See y’all out there!

Big shoutout to the heart and hustle behind it all 💪🔥

Our President, Michele Ryon, Agent at Keller Williams Realty, absolutely showed up and showed out this year. From the early planning stages to the final wrap-up at Founders Day Festival, she poured countless hours, energy, and passion into making our biggest event of the year a huge success.

Events like this don’t just happen. They’re built by dedicated people working behind the scenes, and Michelle is truly one of the best. Her leadership, organization, and drive keep this club moving forward and thriving.

We are beyond grateful for everything you do, not just for Founders Day, but for every event you help bring to life throughout the year. You are a rockstar, and we appreciate you more than words can say 🙌

Thank you for all that you do ❤️

The crowd went WILD at the Founders Day Festival for one of the most fun (and cutest) contests of the weekend… Chicken Clucking 🐔🎤

We had some seriously brave kids take the stage in front of a huge crowd and give us their absolute BEST chicken impressions. From tiny peeps to big-time cluckers, every single one of them brought the energy and had us smiling ear to ear. Honestly, the cuteness level was off the charts.

🐣 Chicken Clucking – 10 & Under
🥇 Caleb
🥈 Sawyer Fasel
🥉 Cooper

🐔 Chicken Clucking – 11+
🥇 Caden
🥈 Zuri
🥉 Bodie Bishop

Huge shoutout to all the kids who participated. Y’all were fearless, hilarious, and completely stole the show.

And of course, thank you to Goodjay Design for capturing these unforgettable moments. We’re lucky to have you behind the camera.
