Thousands turn out for Barnyard Days “We’ve come to keep the past alive,” Lehar said. “Hopefully, we’re getting some children interested in this.” Organizations such as the Neosho Future Farmers of America, a mission team representing five churches, Joplin Future Farmers of America and Diamond 4-H Club were holding raffles and offering children’s activities to raise money. One of the five churches Saturday held one of the more unusual fund-raisers to raise money to finance a mission trip to Darkar, Senegal, in West Africa. Deedee Dowell of Neosho said the group was selling squares on a poster board that corresponded with a grid of squares in the pasture. A cow could designate the winner by depositing a cowplop in one of the squares, she said. Rylee Jennings, 6, of Webb City, attended the event with her mother, Robin, and rode a horse and had lunch. “It felt like it was bumpy,” Rylee said about her horse ride. Misty Deaton, of Neosho, bought a three-day pass so her two children could participate in activities. Sporting a heart with a lavender design on her face, Kianna, 6, said she liked the face-painting best. Her brother, Tahatan, 2, said he liked the horse ride and the “choo-choo train.” Deaton, who bought holiday decorations and an Ozark Mountain Pony Swing, said it was a fun event for families. Admission today is $5 for adults and free for children younger than 16. Coupons for $1 off the admission price are available at area McDonald’s locations. Parking, assisted by men and women on horseback, is free.
