Rogue River National Rooster Crow Contest - 73 Years and Crowing Strong!
Rogue River National Rooster Crow Contest - 73 Years and Crowing Strong!
The first Rogue River National Rooster Crow was in 1953 when Hollerin鈥� Harry crowed 71 times in a half hour. What began as a local publicity stunt hit the news big time and over the next couple of years, hundreds of roosters from all over the country stepped up to crow or were silent. The annual Crow on the last weekend of June is great fun with adult and kid crows that bring big bragging rights, parades, bands, art shows, car rallies and more. Practice your crow (and your Chicken Dance moves) with organizers Mark Reagles and Carol Weir as they tell of historic crows. You鈥檒l be sure to get revved up for a weekend of fun at the 72d Rogue River National Rooster Crow Contest beginning June 27, 2025 in Rogue River, Oregon.
