what people say...

"The addition of your petting zoo was a tremendous asset to the livestock area specifically, and the fair in general. There were numerous compliments on the enjoyment factor from many "kids" who appreciated the close-up, hands-on opportunity your petting zoo provided"

....STATE FAIR OF TEXAS

"It's always a pleasure to bring something to the fairgoer that they can really enjoy. It's evident when you see the joy on the kid's faces."

....STATE FAIR OF OKLAHOMA

"The Petting Zoo is a credit to you and to our fair in entertainment value. Another point well made, is the care and love the animals obviously receive from your staff. It's wonderful not to have any concern regarding the animal rights groups."

......MISSOURI STATE FAIR

"...I can say those two shows [ Petting Zoo and Pig races] are the most exciting, most talked about events we have had at the Kansas State Fair. The conduct of your employees, and the appearance of both shows have been above reproach. They have been a credit to the Kansas State Fair."
