Young McDonald's Barn

Every year, our chapter prepares and runs the Young McDonald's Barn during the Kosciusko County fair. During this week, we have the barn filled with baby animals including calves, bunnies, kids (both goats and humans), chicks, and ducklings. We have hundreds of visitors pass through the barn throughout the week to see the baby animals. During the day, we have FFA members work in barn to make sure everything runs smoothly and to interact with the public.

Earlier today an email was sent out to each FFA member (who's email address we have) that contained the shift schedule for the barn. If you did NOT receive this email because you are NOT on our emailing list, shoot us an email at warsawffachapter1977@gmail.com Be sure to include your name and we'll start sending you updates via email.

The shift schedule that was sent out included the names of everybody who has already scheduled their shift for the barn. Each shift is two hours long. During each shift, FFA members will be responsible for interacting with visitors by teaching them about the animals that are in the barn as well as agriculture and our FFA chapter. This is a great public relation opportunity! When working in the barn, it is required that every FFA act maturely. There will be a list of expectations that each member must follow. The Young McDonald's Barn is not the place for members to fool around. Please remember this when you are working your shift(s).

We ask that every member sign up for at least one shift. To schedule your shift, contact Lauryn Steffe, Devan Ostrom, or Mallarie Stookey. Their numbers can be found on the shift schedule. You can also email us at warsawffachapter1977@gmail.com.

During fair week, the Young McDonald's Barn will be open from 2-5p.m. on Sunday, 9a.m.-8p.m. Monday-Wednesday, and 9a.m.-5p.m. on Thursday.

If you have any questions, please contact any of the officers! We hope to see you there!
