GREENFIELD — 5-12 months-old Lewis Fairchild could hardly comprise his exhilaration when introducing his two pet rats — Benny and Jet — at the Hancock County 4-H Fair on Monday night.
The Fortville boy was among a handful of children who introduced their pint-measurement companions to the 4-H Pocket Pets opposition, the place they confirmed off their animals to a choose.
“I really like them simply because they are so lovable, and they really like to climb,” mentioned Lewis, who grinned greatly as Benny ran playfully up his arm.
Pocket Animals choose Rob Matt, who has been judging the party for the previous seven or eight decades, loves to see the enthusiasm in youngsters like Lewis, who delight in caring for lesser animals
