The FFA chapters within Brown County also conducted the FFA Kiddy Barn during the five days of the fair. It was a huge success thanks to the many FFA members from Sleepy Eye, Springfield, and New Ulm who worked shifts during the fair as well as the people who donated animals for the Kiddy Barn. 40 members of the Sleepy Eye FFA Chapter participated in helping children have a great experience with baby animals and learning about farm safety and agriculture while at the fair.<\/p>\n

The FFA Kiddy Barnyard exhibited newborn farm animals donated by several families including: \u00a0Spring Creek Dairy (Holstein Calf), Port Haven Dairy (Brown Swiss Calf), Alex Schroeder (Ayrshire Calf), and Cold Creek Farms (Piglets), Runnings (Chicks).<\/p>\n

The FFA Kiddy Barnyard also had an agriculture coloring & activity station as well as a safety carnival.\u00a0At the safety carnival, FFA members conducted several games with safety questions covering grain, ATV\u2019s, tractors & machinery, animals, and chemicals. The members of the Sleepy Eye chapter had a great time teaching youth at the Kiddy Barnyard about animals and safety as well as showcasing their FFA projects during the Brown County Fair.<\/p>\n
