Lehigh Valley Zoo, Schnecksville, is inviting everyone to get "down on the farm" July 18 during Farm Fest. Human herds can explore the importance of agriculture and food sustainability, meet domestic animals and learn how to milk a cow.

In addition to Farm Fest, zoo staff will also be recognizing World Snake Day with up close encounters, crafts and venomous snake demonstrations.

Celebrate "Hump Day" every day at the Zoo with daily camel feedings starting July 15.

Do you love animals and enjoy spending time outdoors? Volunteering at Lehigh Valley Zoo, Schnecksville, may be the perfect opportunity for you.
