The 2025 Chautauqua County Fair is currently showcasing area youth and 4-H members as they present their animals in various competitions throughout the week. Highlights include Charlotte Couchman preparing her horse Renaissance, who is nearing retirement, for her final 4-H shows, and Raelyn Nickerson showing her award-winning rabbits, emphasizing how 4-H encourages youth involvement and personal growth. Dale Perry is also participating by showing a Brown Swiss cow for the first time, choosing this breed to increase his chances in competition after previously showing a Holstein.

The fair continues to foster community interaction and education, with participants like Couchman enjoying engaging with the public about their animals. The event features a range of 4-H and open class animal shows, providing opportunities for youth to demonstrate their skills and passion for animal care while connecting with the broader community.
