However, the bird didnt die and lived another year and a half, making regular trips to the fair, where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird. Today, the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a two day May festival in Fruita Colorado, which includes live music, a golf tournament, and lots of delicious chicken. Roswell UFO Festival In the summer of 1947, a flying saucer (碟状物)crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. The government says it didnt come from outer space, but many top UFO researchers believe it did. Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard, the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a three-day festival that features a costume contest, a parade and other activities. Be careful, though-that odd little person next to you could be from another planet. Worlds Largest Rattlesnake Roundup The rattlesnake, a poisonous American snake, serves an important function in nature by keeping - 3 - small pests under control, but when their numbers grow too large, they can cause serious problems for farmers. Thats why every March the residents of Sweetwater, Texas, host a three day festival in association with the towns annual rattlesnake hunt. Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes, take a bus tour of their natural habitat, participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on. BugFest Every September, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh holds a day long festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid: insects.
