OAKLAND, Ill. (WCIA) — Madison Warner and Rachel Warman joined WCIA 3’s Taylor Mitchell in the studio to talk about the Oakland FFA’s petting zoo.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday and attendees can expect a range of animals — everything from dogs and ducks to pigs and ponies. The FFA members will also offer two classroom activities for the elementary school students — making a first aid kit and learning abut the lifecycle of a butterfly.
