Farmer Olympics offers another year of unique challenges
The horse arena on the Otoe County Fairgrounds was the setting for Farmer Olympics on Aug. 2, 2025, a challenge course featuring “farm obstacles”. Three divisions provided opportunities for young to young at heart to participate. This is the third year hosted by the Syracuse FFA Boosters and Alumni. Since the second year, the group has been able to do the event free of charge and as a service to the Otoe County Community. Organizers credit the generosity of businesses and individuals who financially support the event with over 30 supporters helping sponsor the event.
