Welcome back to Great Day Live
Live from the Hardin County Fai.
We have moved over to the Petting Zoo area,
which is a brand new addition to
what you can enjoy here at the
Hardin County Fair this year.
It's just small enough,
just enough with a variety of
animals here that the kids.
And adults, I'm enjoying
myself so much this morning,
just going around and petting
the different animals.
I'm Marty Fulkerson joins us once again.
I think we're going to do like
a quiz to see how many animals
we can name right between.
I
am such an agricultural expert.
Let's see how I can do on
this. I asked really like
here, this is going to be great,
but this is a great addition.
Why did you all decide, you know what?
Let's put this in this year.
You know, again, a lot of.
Kids have not been around animals at all.
And so it's great opportunity fr
them to come and see animals and
then in cases they can feed ther
pet them and just kind of get hm
exposed to what's out there, ri.
And I mean, already we have
somebody trying to steal the shw
behind us here. We have the dony
behind it. We do. He is trying out to
see if he could be the 6:00 o'ck
anchor for you all. We'll see.
New WHAS 6:00 o'clock anchor. Ts
is the adorable little addition.
You have a little baby goat here. Yes.
Seven days old right here and
just as gentle as anything.
And I think need to let your
accounting department know that
you're going to have to take it home.
Taking it home to taking it hom.
It's on the expense report.
Try to find it.
Absolutely. And I mean you've selected
and whoever has brought in the animals.
Yes you can. You can pet them all right.
And I mean that's the whole
thing is is to get up close and
I think to the conversation of.
What's this? And what do they e?
Absolutely. And they can buy feed here
as well so that to come through.
But you can, if you want to feed them.
You can buy different food and be able
to go through here and feed some of them.
And some of them are not. The M.
Turkey's not really excited yet this morning.
I don't know about him.
Maybe he knows Thanksgiving
just around the corner.
I don't know.
Giving is just around
the corner. Even further up her.
You have the donkey, You have the Turkey.
You also have a beautiful sheep. Here
we do indeed so gentle.
Yesterday I was over here and j.
Comes up to you and just
wants to be loved. Let's
see, let's see if we can. Oh, look at you.
OK, I'll take you home too. See,
I'm just going to take them all home.
Yeah. And we even have alpaca.
Alpacas are really growing.
In fact, there is a alpaca event comes
and rents fairgrounds to do a s.
So they really are becoming popular and
you can do a lot of things with the wool.
It's becoming more popular,
especially here Kentucky people
that are having the alpaca farm.
And again, I mean the whole poi,
while this is great for the kidd
families to come through and toh
and it puts the emphasis, Marty,
once again back on agriculture
here in Kentucky and what you
could do with this if this is
something that you want to go i,
absolutely gives them a.
Right up close and you can see
how it is and what they smell
like and what they sound like ad
learn a little bit about the ca.
And that's right. That's right.
You know, it's not like it's
not like your family cat at all.
So you know.
It is. And so who do you have?
Who is here Like is the point
person when you come to buy
everybody is is suddenly on attention.
What happened? What you know what they

and his son run this. They do.
Great job and we were excited
to get them here this year.
And again, as you can see,
it's great experience
for the kids and adults
alike. I think so too.
Is there any additional fee to t
the feed or to come in here? Ye,
if you get to feed it dependingn
what size bowl you and I think 5

you to feed every one of them,
but they start at a dollar for the feed.
