Cuties From The Weekend

This past weekend we had a Wildtree Display at a Corn Festival in Youngsville, PA.  We've done this event in the past and it's been great sales-wise.  This year...not so much.  But there was a lot of stuff still going on and there were MORE people there Sunday VS the day before but the sales just didn't happen.  The weather was amazingly comfortable and the park was nice but some what out of the way.  They had it in the park this year because they are doing their Streetscape Project in their downtown area.  The City went thru that years ago and it really messes with everything that the community organizations and businesses TRY and do!  Been there - done that - TOTALLY feel for the organizers and local businesses!  So I 'do' understand why things were different this year.  Having said that...I did enjoy my time with some animals that visited the area yesterday.  I originally met the guy at another event last year and he really loves his animals.  Most of the animals were 'saved' from questionable circumstances, adopted, or rehabilitated in some causes, I believe.  My father and I have always LOVED Prairie Dogs - and years ago when I was more active in Care2 issues and activities I read that some states are having Prairie Dog 'hunts' because of over population.  This breaks my heart!  I mean look at these cuties!  They remained snuggling like this for at least 15 minutes!

  
There were sheep and goats there, too!  The sheep were VERY friendly.  Actually ALL of the animals were VERY friendly.  There was one goat that must have been the 'grand poobah' or even the bully of the bunch that was trying to steal everyone elses food, tho!  This goat on the left was so cool!  He was quite the ROCK STAR with his Salt and Pepper Shaggy Hair!

Some of the goats gave me love nibbles as I fed them!  I'm not going to lie...I loved every minute of it!

This Trio of Cuties were hanging out in the corner of the large pen area.  They loved eating the grass and playing.  The guy had an Old School "Fisher Price" type house that they LOVED.  I remember it from last year, too!  They all played in it and around it.  Some of them even liked to jump on top of it and stand or sit there and show off a bit.

I don't really know what this little guy's name is but my mom and I were calling him "George".  He was roaming around the grounds totally free!  He was quite the grass eater!  He let me pet him for at least 10 minutes. 

All of these cuties were extremely clean, playful, social, and adorable. 

There were some really LARGE rabbits, too, and they were so soft!  They all had access to grass, food, water, and play area ALL day!  There was a cute turtle as well as a few other animals of interest! 

I believe the gentlemen visited school often to teach the children about the different animals as well.  If he's at the one event again this year - like he was last year - I hope to talk to him more.
