Pet live animals and Pony rides at Carnegie

Few SRP activities are more fascinating than petting and feeding gentle furry farm animals.
We had a Petting Zoo here at Carnegie last Wednesday, June 15. Thank you to EJC FARMS PETTING ZOO & PONY, our little customers got to touch and pet a variety of different animals. Pony rides were part of that event too.
They had a great time!
(And Sha too ^_^)

Thank you, Kelly and Dean, for this amazing SRP activity!
