The 39th Annual Chautauqua in the Park will take place on September 7-8, 2024, at Simpson Park in Chillicothe, Missouri. Sponsored by the Chillicothe Area Chamber of Commerce and presented by Hedrick Medical Center, this event offers a variety of entertainment, activities, artists, crafts, and food.
“This annual event is widely attended, and we do everything within our means to make sure it goes off without a hitch,” said Crystal Narr, Executive Director of the Chillicothe Area Chamber of Commerce. “A big factor in making that happen is ensuring we have volunteers to cover the many different aspects of the event.”
Nearly 150 volunteers are needed over the weekend to support the two-day event. There are still several spots available for community members seeking volunteer opportunities.
