Meet Oregano, Rosemary and Parsley

You saw them on a recent Ada Public Library video visit to Gossman Farms
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 13, 2020

If you've followed the Ada Public Library Facebook you are aware that Gossman Farms have two baby ducks and three baby turkey that were in need of names.

They invited library patrons to help name the birds - a boy and girl name for the ducks and a boy and two girl games for the turkeys.

This invitation came about after the library had a chicken storytime at the farm on April 7. CLICK HERE to watch a video of the visit.

After several suggestions, the decision was to name the poultry after the spice rack.
