Deerfield Testicle Festival on hold

Annual Deerfield event also takes a hit due to COVID-19

DEERFIELD — One of Lenawee County’s biggest and most-popular seasonal festivals of the year has also taken a hit due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Deerfield American Legion hosted “Testicle Festival” will not take place Saturday, March 21 as planned, as limitations upon the number of people together in one setting, have been set by the Michigan state government in a response to combatting COVID-19.

The festival has been moved to the date of Saturday, May 9. It will take place at the legion hall, 105 W. River St., during the hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The festival, which is held one day of the year, is generally a sign to the start of the spring season. It draw more than 2,000 people to the Deerfield community each year and it is the legion’s biggest fundraiser.

“People come from all over the state; all over the country to take part in the festival,” said Nick Pulver of the Deerfield American Legion.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

“We are not going to lose any of the food and products,” added Pulver. “Baked beans will remain in the cans and the 300 pounds of testicles can remain frozen for at least two more months.

“We caught it at the right time.”
