Come celebrate the 60th Annual 4-H Chicken Que, Sunday May 2, 2021!

You can purchase chicken dinners, whole pies, t-shirts, hats and more! If you would prefer to pay with a check, please email chickenque@yahoo.com . Chicken Que is committed to raising funds to support Sonoma County 4-H programs. In 2020, we were grateful to the 4-H community and the community at large for supporting our youth programs virtually through the radiothon. In 2021, we are looking forward to being back at the BBQ. Even if it is only drive-thru, it’s exciting to be able to continue the Chicken Que tradition. There will be mini-gardens and clubs will be setting up booths to line the drive up to where you will pick up your meals. Don’t forget to order a pie to enjoy! Our clubs, our community, our country and our world are seeing light at the end of the tunnel for the ongoing health crisis. But it has been a long road. We want to be sure every family understands that the financial security and health of your family comes first. If you are able, please participate. If you cannot, we support that decision. The Chicken Que committee appreciates our community and the ongoing support that helps provide quality programs for our youth.
