4-H Fair: A Free Petting Opportunity

4-H isn't just about cows and pigs, it's also about snakes and Alpacas ... and a lot more.

On Friday, goats competed in an obstacle course and a fashion show, plus there were swine of all sizes, sheep, a couple young Alpacas and a Ball Python called Pebbles.

The 4-H Fair, going on now through Sunday, Aug. 14, has hands-on activities such as goat milking as well as presentations and live animal shows that are open to everyone. And it's free!

4-H is an educational program for youth ages 8 - 18. It is open to all boys and girls regardless of place of residence.

The Northampton County 4-H Center, at 777 Bushkill Center Road, north of Nazareth in Bushkill Township, is the site of the annual 4-H Fair.
