HOUGHTON -- Keweenaw Now has posted a new slide show -- the "Dairy Goat Storytime" held last Saturday, Apr. 21, at the Portage Lake District Library.
Dairy goat owners Brian Rajdl, a science teacher at Hancock High School, and his wife, Katie Searl, brought Nutmeg, a Mama Goat, and her two three-week-old kids, Moscow and Angelina, to the library -- offering a unique learning experience for the children. The goats are originally a Swiss combined breed of Alpine and Toggenburg dairy goats.
Goat co-owner Katie Searl holds Moscow so children and Portage Library Community Programs Coordinator Chris Alquist, a former goat owner herself, can pet it.
The event, organized by Portage Library Community Programs Coordinator Chris Alquist, included goat stories, tasting pasteurized goat's milk products purchased by the library from the Keweenaw Co-op, and an art project.
