Chautauqua Petting Zoo
This year the Chillicothe FFA Chapter sponsored the petting zoo at the Chautauqua in the Park;
this is our 17th year to participate in the Chautauqua. Our FFA Chapter took this opportunity to share
information with community members about agriculture. Approximately 45 members assisted with the
petting zoo, which is enjoyable for people of all ages! The petting zoo contained of all sorts of animals
such as a calf, puppies, pigs, goats, turkeys, kittens and horses.
This year the Chillicothe FFA Chapter also provided a coloring contest for the local youth. Prizes were
given to each youth that completed the coloring contest. Winners included in the 3-5 year old division
Jayce, in the 6-8 year old division Hudson, in the 9-11 year old division Emily, and in the 12 year old and
up division Lilly. Congratulations to all the winners.
We would like to thank our local supporters Chillicothe Orscheln’s Farm and Home for the use of the
gates and the Livingston County Farm Bureau assisted with the coloring contest, signs and hand
sanitizer. Thanks to all of the individuals that visited the Chillicothe FFA Chautauqua Petting Zoo!
