All events are free and open to the public.
Youngsters will be able to perform mock surgery on stuffed animals during the three-day event, and student groups will present displays and exhibits on dogs, cats, sheep, horses, cattle and 10 other animal families. A petting zoo will be available for youngsters. The raptor program, located behind the hospital, is dedicated to providing medical care, rehabilitation and release for injured birds of prey.
