It didn’t take long for a line to form at a petting zoo at the Schuylkill County Fair on Tuesday morning.

“With kids, we get busy,” said Anne Dalvet, owner of Sunset Boarding Stables near New Philadelphia.

Dalvet brought six sheep, six goats, a miniature donkey and three ponies to the fair in Summit Station.

Children — and adults — were invited to feed and pet the animals, or take a little jaunt on the pint-size ponies.

They could even “snuggle” with the tiny goats, who travel with Dalvet to events and parties.

“I have two chairs for children to sit in and be with the goats — but adults like to do it, too,” said Dalvet, who will be at the fair each day through Saturday.

Siblings Myla Motley and Luke Motley, of Schuylkill Haven, pushed pieces of hay through the fence so the tiny goats could nibble.

Dalvet’s goats were an addition to the dozens upon dozens of animals that are being shown at the fair. There are cows, horses, alpacas and rabbits, and visitors can stop by the stalls to sneak a peek or learn more about the farming industry.

Numerous plows and other pieces of farming equipment line parts of the fairgrounds. And for Kids’ Day — which was Tuesday — firetrucks, state police cruisers, a school bus, a tour bus and a tow truck rolled in for a Touch-A-Truck program.

A hulking PennDOT snowplow was brought by employees Jackie Yanchulis and Shaun Rohrbaugh. The two passed out plastic “hard hats” and Rohrbaugh helped children climb the two steps to sit in the high cab.

“This is our sixth time here,” Yanchulis said. “It’s good to give back to the community.”

Kids also enjoyed pool noodle horse races, Jell-O and pie eating contests and a frozen T-shirt competition.

Those who were old — and brave — enough could try their hands at a rock climbing wall. Representatives from the Pennsylvania Army National Guard brought the vertical wall, along with other skill games.

Spc. Erick Fuentes, a Guard recruiter, said the equipment helps introduce the Guard and its services.

Amusement rides, including a Ferris wheel, whirred on the midway. Carnival games are also on tap.

Tuesday’s temperatures rose to 90-plus degrees, making offerings like ice cream, slushies and smoothies popular. Visitors could also find stuffed pretzels, barbecue, cheesesteaks, curried goat, cookie dough, hamburgers, turkey legs and more.

Buildings house contests entries, everything from fruits and vegetables to artwork and knitting projects.

Today is Nana Schaffer Day, and gates will open at 4 p.m. A tractor parade is at 4:30 p.m., and a celebrity tractor pull is at 5:30 p.m.

Invasive plants with Kyle Schutt and a Livestock Skill-A-Thon will be held at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., there will be farm stock pulls, along with an equine demonstration.

Jack and Davis Reed, grandsons of the Statler Brothers, will perform gospel music at 7 and 9 p.m.
