Morning rain and grey skies didn’t keep families from enjoying the Port Elgin BIA’s third annual Easter Petting Zoo in Coulter Parkette April 15. Rabbits, goats and even a camel, supplied by Tiger Paw from Arthur, Ontario, kept dry under tents during the four hour free downtown event.

New to the zoo were bubble wands and a special balloon pit, provided by The Main Event in Port Elgin, that brought out many smiles.

The weather cleared and the sun came out for the afternoon hours of the event.

The balloon pit was one of the many highlights at the Port Elgin BIA’s third annual Easter Petting Zoo April 15.

Practise makes perfect for Alice Powell whose bubbles just kept getting bigger and better at the third annual Easter Petting Zoo at Coulter Parkette April 15.
