Agriculture Community Day

The Blacksburg High School FFA club held a community agriculture day at there school. The kids had lots of fun making different crafts, petting animals, painting, planting plants and eating snacks. The day was so cold so it was nice to have a fun indoor activity to entertain the kids. We did venture outside to see the different large animals once or twice. The poor piggies were huddled together trying to stay warm, where as the goats and alpacas didn't seem to mind the cold weather. The kids were able to make peanut butter and bird seed covered pine cone that we put on out pack porch. The kids enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels eating them.

Marcus was more interested in the cages than the animals.
