The 38th Annual Chautauqua in the Park will take place on September 9-10, 2023, at Simpson Park in Chillicothe, Missouri. This yearly event, sponsored by the Chillicothe Area Chamber of Commerce and presented by Hedrick Medical Center, offers a wide variety of entertainment, activities, artists, crafts, and food.
Crystal Narr, Executive Director of the Chillicothe Area Chamber of Commerce, said, “This annual event is widely attended, and we do everything within our means to ensure it goes off without a hitch.
