What’s Happening in Chillicothe
September 12, 2023
September is such a great month to be outside for picnics, walks, bike rides, football games, cookouts, reunions or just an afternoon or evening sitting on the patio or porch. Already this month we have had Labor Day celebrations, Party In the Park, Ethan Koch Memorial Cruise-In, Peoria Casting Club Hog Roast, a concert at Blue Ridge Community Farm, and the American Legion, all with LIVE MUSIC for an outside audience. There are many upcoming LIVE MUSIC options available (see Events Calendar below) as well as several family activities…the Library’s Autumn Market, the Optimist Club’s Chili Supper and Bake Sale, Chillicothe Christian Church’s Family Fun Day, and the IVC Homecoming Parade and football game, plus much more.
