Dairy Cows in Des Plaines

One of the goals of our History Hits the Road Outreach is to use the program as an educational tool at other facilities besides schools. We had this opportunity at the Des Plaines Fall Fest over the weekend. Todd, Lindsay and Sarah loaded up Buttercup, a couple of hens and roosters and some broomcorn to take to the festival. We spent the afternoon teaching folks about Midwestern farming and did some hands on activities- Buttercup was the hit of the day! Everyone had a great time, and many thanks to the town of Des Plaines for being such wonderful hosts!
