NORWICH – Like his family’s goat farm in Georgetown, 11-year-old Eli Stoltman says there’s a lot of things that make Chenango County Dairy Day great.

“Dairy Day is a lot of fun and you can do lots of cool stuff,” he said, listing walking in the parade, being around the animals, participating in the drawing contest and playing with other kids as his favorite aspects of the event. “It’s also lot’s of fun to do the maze.”

When asked what he liked most about living on a farm, Stoltman said everything – well, almost everything.

“You get to care for lots of animals, you’re never bored and there’s always lots of things to do. You have to get up early and do lots of chores, too, and then you come in and eat breakfast,” he said, adding that he loves it all, “except maybe for the getting up early part.”
