Exotic animals come to the library

By JESSICA HARKER jharker@vindy.com

More than 100 children were in attendence at the program,

along with their family members.

A line stretched out the door of the front lobby of the Poland library before the presentation began.

During the program Dwayne Felger held a 1-year-old kangaroo in a pouch at his hip.

He explained that he and his wife raise kangaroos, and have had the one they brought with them since it was born.

“He loves to cuddle, they are just a fun loving species and very sweet,” Dwayne said.

Along with the kangaroo, Beth Felger held a small marmoset monkey on her shoulder throughout the presentation.

Both Beth and Dwayne gave detailed presentations on the animals they brought with them, explaining which animals would be good pets and which animals need special

care.

They also explained information about how big each of the animals would get, what they eat and what their natural habitat is.

“Leopard geckos can actually regenerate their limbs, so when they get hurt in the wild they can go hide until they grow back what ever limb they may See ANIMALS, Page 4

A large crowd gathered for the event, including Jennifer Summers, who knew Shanna Delaney, the lead singer of By Light We Loom, when they were in college at Kent State together.

“She was my first college roommate and we were already visiting from Michigan so we thought why not,” Summers said, “It’s such a cool atmosphere and such a fun event to come out to.”

Delaney and her husband Eric Ling make up the band of By Light We Loom, both are school teachers in the Akron area.

The second band to play, Spirit of the Bear, is composed of James Harker, Danny Svenson, Ethan Schwendeman, Mike Perorazio and Jamie Vitullo.
