Children attending The Cookie Corner in West Wyoming recently had the opportunity to learn about kangaroos during a special visit from Lynn Closterman, owner of Safari Farm and Petting Zoo in Jefferson Township.

Closterman brought along Bellaroo, a baby kangaroo, delighting the children as each had the chance to hold the joey.

The visit was made possible by veterinarian, Dr. Sara McGarry, of Shoemaker Avenue Animal Hospital in West Wyoming, who is also the mother of classmate Jack.
