Moo
at the Zoo
Saturday,
July 12 | 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
How many glasses of milk can a cow produce in just one day? Find
out at Oregon Zoo! Mosey on over to the Oregon Zoo's Trillium Creek
Family Farm to learn all about life on a dairy farm and meet the
Oregon Dairy Princesses!
Sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Oregon, Moo at the Zoo is an educational
event for the whole family and offers a host of fun facts through
hands on activities and interactive displays. Visitors will meet
Oregon Dairy Princess Ambassadors, who will describe the life of
dairy cow and the daily workings of a dairy farm.
Other Moo at the Zoo activities includes a free kids coloring book,
got milk? handouts, healthy eating tips for the whole family, and
the opportunity to have a picture taken with the Oregon Dairy Princess
Ambassadors.
By testing
their knowledge, visitors will also have a chance to win "got milk?" T-shirts
and other prizes during random drawings.
Oregon ranks third in the nation for milk quality, which is directly
related to the quality of animal care that Oregon's 320 dairy farm
families provide to their herds.
Moo at the Zoo is free with zoo admission.
