We visited the American Countryside Farmers Market in Elkhart on May 24, 2008 for Kites and Canines Day. While there wasn’t much kite flying going on, there were lots of animal adoption agencies and animals for adoption represented. Here are some photos from our little excursion.

kittens were available for adoption as well

there is a small area set up with children’s activities

wagon rides are available as well as a petting zoo
