Join the Enfield Historical Society for an informative and entertaining program about our shared history.
Chester and Frank Pilch were household names in Enfield during the mid-20th Century.
Chet learned the art of chick “sexing” which brought him success early on in life, and he turned that into an extremely successful business model.
Frank became a mover and shaker in local politics, leading the Democratic Town Committee and helping shape the future of the town.
At the height of Chet’s successful national and international expansion, he unexpectedly merged with a competitor, and within a short time, the operation pulled out of Enfield for the greener pastures of the South.
The reasons behind the success and the collapse of the business will be presented and discussed. All who have an interest in the subject or have personal reflections to share are welcome.
This presentation is open to the public. Anyone with an interest in Enfield history is welcome to attend.
The Enfield Historical Society is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that has preserved and shared Enfield’s history for more than 60 years. New members are always needed and greatly appreciated. Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to be a historian or Enfield native to join. Become a member today!
