Cooling off by the animals

Jason Guenter, 13, left, and his sister Nancy, 11, tried out the paddle boats in a large portable swallow pool of water supplied by Super Air Bounce Rentals of Tillsonburg at the Educational Animal Display and Pony Rides annual open house southeast of Aylmer on Saturday, May 28. Educational Animal Display and Pony Rides, located on Woolleyville Line off Springfield Road north of Talbot Line, offers a wide variety of exotic animals along with farm animals and ponies. The weekend-long event, which featured 90 craft and food vendors, music, alpaca and sheep shearing along with children’s activities, was free to attend but donations were accepted.
