Looks like crowd was good. My mom, Joe Ann Lamb used to have a petting zoo for elementary kids in Cottage Hill. They woulb come in buses and picnic under the pecan trees. Alice; I concur, when I saw this article, I was saddened by the fact that 240 acres, underutilized is being sold, when it would be a GREAT place for activities like this to "trap" young kids intheir early stages for future 4hers and FFA members. vIt takes a desire and a vision. I hate to have to say that that vision is not presently available in Escambia Extension. KUDOS tro those that "thunk" this up. Remember the 4H motto: TO MAKE THE BEST BETTER. Vote no on land sale unless better is provided!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wyhat a fasntastic idea! Looks like crowd was good. My mom, Joe Ann Lamb used to have a petting zoo for elementary kids in Cottage Hill.

Would be great idea for the fair or anytime. Not just for elementary students. Would be great idea to have it at 4H on nine mile rd. To show everyone in Escambia County how important the study of agriculture is for our future, not just a quick buck selling off 4H land. Call centers and credit unions come and go but agriculture lasts a life time. And we need more farmers if civilization is to last!!!!!! Sounds like good clean fun, wish I could have gone.

Many children don't have any idea where food really comes from or what real food is! They don't know how it is grown or how the animals provide milk and cheese and eggs, etc. It is a part of education all children should have! What a great idea!
