WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) Goats got more attention in Wausau with a one-of-a-kind event: Goat-A-Palooza.
On Thursday People got to see goats, have goat cheese, and much more.
A small scavenger hunt took place for kids and other goat activities were put on by the library. People also pet some of the goats and even took a selfie with a few. Others got the opportunity to take a yoga class with goats around them.
Organizers say they hope people left the event full of knowledge on everything goats.
“Mainly to educate the patrons about why we brought the goats into Barker-Stewart Island and then to just have a little bit of fun with the event and get people down here so they can kind of check out what we’re doing and get to know exactly what it’s all about,” said Mark Dorow, Recreation Superintendent, Marathon County Parks & Rec Department.
The goats, from a farm in Portage County, have been on Barker-Stewart Island to eat weeds and other invasive species that are not native to the area.
