Kid’s Day

Kid’s day gives daycares and elementary school’s throughout Lincoln a field trip on a school day to come to the University of Nebraska. While at the University members of Block and Bridle provide answers to questions and assist in animal handling so the kid’s have the opportunity to get close and pet the livestock. This year Kid’s day was held on November 7, 2008 and as numerous children stampeded the Animal Science Arena, they had the chance to get involved with cattle, horses, piglets, and sheep. After hours of excitement and getting their pictures taken, the children didn’t leave empty handed; they were reminded of the day with a bag of goodies that consisted of both coloring books and educational material.
