Being surrounded by farm animals, reptiles, insects, squirrels and various critters makes coming to work every day somewhat of an adventure. We invite visitors to share in the adventure by participating in the feeding programs we offer here at the park.
Every week day at 4 p.m., we open the farm animal feeding to the public. Kids and adults have a chance to help feed the farm animals and learn about their historic roles on the farm. I was delighted one afternoon to hear a child burst into giggles when he came face to face with the black guinea hogs on the Wiregrass Farmstead. He couldn't believe that they were pigs because they're not pink. Another child found it hilarious that he had to watch where he stepped in the sheep pen-- "fresh presents," he said.
Due to the popularity of feeding the farm animals, we also offer a program on feeding the reptiles on the second Sunday of each month at 4 p.m. Indy, our Eastern Indigo Snake, puts on quite a show as he "hunts" for his prey. The next program will be on August 9.
Science on Saturday's topic this week (Aug. 8) is on Dog Training. Canine Specialist Renee Jones will offer tips on training. Give us a call to register. Below, Assistant Director Kathie Moore shows off her new dog, Honey.
