Paulding FFA hosts petting zoo at the Gardens of Paulding

On September 14, the Paulding FFA Chapter put on a petting zoo at the Gardens of Paulding. The petting zoo provided a chance for residents who live at the Gardens and their family members to see and pet several different types of farm animals. The petting zoo was a great way for the chapter to give back to the community. There were smaller animals at the petting zoo which included ducks, chickens and baby kittens. There were also lots of bigger animals including pygmy goats, a large saanen goat named snowflake and two adorable dogs all brought by members of the Paulding FFA chapter. The members truly enjoyed interacting with the residents and their families. It was wonderful to hear about their pets and stories of their time on their own farms. They had a wonderful time and hope to do it again in the future.

Paulding Democrats host speakers at Porkchop Supper

I have a son. He is now 53 years old. He has had migraine headaches since the early 1990’s. He has had a heart valve replaced and 2 bypasses last year. He was 19 years old in 1991 and joined the Army. He was 2 weeks out of bootcamp and was shipped to Kuwait. Him and several others in an armed personnel carrier went down the road to Baghdad, past all the burning oil wells spewing benzene gases! Past burn pits with toxic smoke! He was a hero for America along with his fellow soldiers who have also had issues. These were proud soldiers who were affected by all this, and the VA would not recognize the cause of their illnesses!
