three county dairy princesses
from across New York came to

Family Room
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) From building character
to building a bank account, from
reading skills to sanitary skills,
parents and children who visit
the Family Learning Hub at Penn
State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug.
20-22, will find a wealth of fun
and information.
Located on Main Street be
tween West Bth and 9th Streets
at the Russell E. Larson Agricul
tural Research Center at Rock
Springs, the area includes the
Family Room building, the
ImAGination Station, the Family
Animal Learning Center and
Shaver’s Creek Environmental
Center.
The theme in the Family
Room is “Healthy Foods,
Healthy Families,” according to
Marilyn Furry, Penn State associ
ate professor of agricultural and
extension education.
“We present the latest research
and high-priority extension pro
grams,” she says, “but they’re in
contexts that are fun and engag
ing for children. We’re addres
sing important issues for Penn
sylvania today. But they’re
wrapped up in fun ac
tivities like a treasure
hunt, guessing the to
tals in a piggy bank
and ‘fishing’ for sav
ing tips.”
“Connecting the
Generations” will
present several ways
that young people and
older adults can come
together.“Pennsylva-

in young children, including
guessing the total amount of
money in a piggy bank, and a
“fishing for saving tips” contest
for kids.
Nearby, Penn State’s Shaver’s
Creek Environmental Center,
will stage regular demonstrations
featuring raptors, snakes and tur
tles. Goats, sheep and other do
mesticated animals will be on dis
play at the Farm Animal

sylvanians for Responsible Use of
