A generous $1.4 million gift from State Farm Insurance to the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park guarantees that the Kids’ Farm exhibit will remain open for the next five years. The State Farm donation is the largest made to the Zoo since 2007.
Earlier this year the Zoo announced plans to close the Kids’ Farm for budget reasons. The decision was one of several identified to implement cost-saving measures at the Zoo and across the Smithsonian.
The Kids’ Farm opened in 2004 and costs approximately $250,000 to operate each year. When news of the closing became public, there was an overwhelming response from the community and Friends of the National Zoo members who voiced their support for the exhibit to remain open. FONZ members organized fundraising events and launched additional efforts to find the longer term funding.
Today, the Zoo held a ceremony to announce the new sponsor. At the ceremony, Nigerian Dwarf goat Lucy, a long-time Kids’ Farm resident, unveiled the permanent donor sign on the side of the barn. Former Congressman Ralph Regula, who played a vital role in establishing the Kids’ Farm seven years ago, was on hand to offer his congratulations and talk about the importance of farms. In addition, a group of 16 FONZ campers and animal keepers led a parade of donkeys, alpacas, goats, rabbits and a chicken to the Caring Corral where participants met the animals up close.
“At State Farm we are committed to serving the communities where we work and live, which is why we are thrilled to help fund the Kids’ Farm at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo,” said Dan Krause, vice president of State Farm Agency. “As strong supporters of early childhood education, we are pleased to give this gift of support to the Kids’ Farm; a place that inspires learning in our youngsters while providing a magical experience for families to spend time together.”
Kids’ Farm Background
The Kids’ Farm is home to various farm animals—cows, donkeys, goats, alpacas, hogs, a chicken, koi fish, catfish and rabbits. Several of the animals residing in the farm are rare breeds, including the San Clemente Island goats and Ossabaw Island hogs. The Kids’ Farm provides young children with an interactive learning experience. Designed for children ages 3 to 8, the exhibit provides many urban and suburban children their first experience with animals while learning about where food comes from. Children have the opportunity to groom the animals under the supervision of keepers in the Caring Corral and are able to touch animals in various locations throughout the exhibit. The State Farm gift will cover the salaries for three full-time animal keepers over a seven-day work week, animal feed, bedding materials, medical care and tests, habitat maintenance and general operating supplies.

My mother's cousin used to do bookbinding a long time ago, because she doesn't anymore she wanted to give me her material and tools, so generous! And this is only the thread, yarn and tape department there is also a small but complete transportable binding station (very cool! pictures later) and a huge collection of gilding tools (yay!!), paring knives, paper knives not to mention heaps of paper, book cloth and even some leather.
As far as the threads are concerned I am particularly happy with this silk. It's difficult to find this thickness here in the Netherlands and it's perfect for sewing my own headbands!
I recently had an e-mail exchange with the creator of Scout, the application that generates these sets. I suggested that, given the way the Magic Donkey is now moving images in and out of of the Interestingness archives on an almost hourly basis to achieve greater variety and fairness to flickr's growing population, the set generator should include images seen there in the last n days rather than just at the moment of the query Scout makes.
So, the result would be "last seen at #5 @ 3:00am, March 25th, 2006" and then an image would only drop out of your Interestingness archive collection once it had not been seen there for a set period of time. This would accurately show people all of the images they have in the archive cycle, and it is now a cycle rather than a set-in-stone thing.
I think this is a better way to show people what they have in the Interestingness archives, and the creator of Scout agreed. So, look for that change sometime in the future.
