Davis-area Event: Tour de Cluck

Tomorrow is Tour de Cluck day in Davis! We'll be spending our Saturday riding bikes around town checking out the 18 chicken coops featured on the Tour.

The event is a benefit for Davis Farm to Schools, which supports the school district in offering fresh foods from local farms as part of its school lunch program. The Tour is in its third year and is loads of fun. We've ridden and visited coops both prior years and learned a lot in preparation for getting our own flock of chickens.

Tickets are sold out, so if you don't have them yet, you're unfortunately out of luck. Don't despair, though! Some fun Tour de Cluck-related activities are happening down at the Farmer's Market starting at 9am, so even if you aren't traveling the coop loops, you can join in the fun.

Look for a report about the Tour on Monday's post, and don't forget to put this event on your calendar for next year!
