Friday the FFA students of Lincoln Community High School took a day out of their classrooms to do a little teaching of their own.

The group brought in kid-friendly animals from the farm and spent the day at the Logan County Fairgrounds, running a petting school for Lincoln area elementary students.

Kids from kindergarten to fourth grade were brought in from the various schools in shifts. Each group was allowed plenty of time to go from stall to stall in the show barn, visit the animals, touch them, and ask questions about them.

These guys ham it up for the camera.  Officially, though, they helped lead tours through the barn, making sure the kids saw all the animals.

Everyone get a chance to pet the rabbits.

Boys and girls line up to visit some of the animals.
