The students of the Penns Manor Ag Program along with help from their Ag Teacher, Mr. Hughes set up an awesome petting zoo in their shop area and outside.
Most, if not all, of the elementary students and their teachers, along with several administrators visited the petting zoo, and got to experience a little taste of Agriculture.
The Ag students were kept busy answering students and teachers questions about the animals as well as taking care of the animals throughout the event. They were also responsible for helping set-up, tear down, and clean up after the event. In addition, the Ag students had built the animal holding pens for this event, although the pig pen had to be modified to curb the escape efforts... :)
If I remember correctly... the petting zoo included: a horse, a pony, a donkey, a guinea, a chicken, 2 rabbits, a pet hamster, 4 or 5 ducks (one of which was content to splash and play in the shop sink and drink water out of a red plastic cup), 3 geese, 2 guinea pigs, a peacock, 3 young pigs, 3 (awesome) goat kids (my contribution to the chaos... and yes, I am biased, but the kids had a blast with them!).
