Summer 2008 Events: Street Dance with Boogie & the Yo-Yo's on July 5th - Fireworks - July 4th at the Linn Grove Park, 5th Annual Chicken & Kick'n Weekend from Aug. 16th through Aug. 17th - 42nd Annual Chicken Barbecue - August 17th at the Zeidler Park

Every year on the second or third Sunday of August the community members of Rockwell sponsor the Chicken Barbecue. Many people from the surrounding communities come for the great meal and friendships. For the past few years, the Chamber of Commerce has also sponsored the Kick'n & Chicken Weekend with the Bulls and Barrels Rodeo, a dance by Boogie & the Yo-Yo's, and many other events have been added. The firemen start early and cook the chicken over the barbecue pits. A corn crew is in charge of getting the corn-on-the-cob ready for everyone to enjoy. The meal usually consists of chicken, chips, potato salad, cole slaw, corn-on-the-cob and rolls. The following pictures are from the 2001 Chicken Barbecue and Car Show. Mark your calendars and attend the 2008 Kick'n & Chicken Weekend with the Annual Chicken Barbecue on Sunday, August 17th.
