Goat Cuddling, Pig Races Highlight 75th A-Day At DelVal: Photos

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Despite a crazy weather weekend that brought rain, sun and wind, hundreds turned out for the 75th anniversary of A-Day at Delaware Valley University.

On Saturday, occasional showers brought out the umbrellas and rain gear while Sunday was about battening down the hatches as the wind whipped across campus and through the rows of vendor and food booths.

The three-day, student-run event was packed with agricultural learning and excitement, from goat snuggling and Farm Show milkshakes to cow plop bingo and sheep herding.

The weekend also featured pig races, hayrides, interactive demonstrations, inflatable obstacle course and sliding boards, music, food, vendors, tractor parades and mechanical bull rides.
