Ice Cream or Animal Feed? photo by smalltowngirl

Petting zoos are such odd things. Can you imagine trucking your camels and llamas and goats around to fairs and festival and carnivals, charging a nominal feel to let people pet them?

This particular mobile petting zoo was set up at – you guessed it – the Kimmswick Apple Butter Festival. Camels and goats and llamas, oh my! I’m not sure how much they were charging kids to go through the petting zoo,  but for just $1.00 extra, parents could buy an ice cream cone filled with animal feed.  How many kids do you think ate the animal feed that day? Small town Missouri, please continue to delight me with your oddities!
