Then they took us to the gift shop, where we could buy rabbit's feet and rabbit fur, and I thought: Hey, wait a minute . . . That's when I learned that thinking only gets you into trouble. And I bought a rabbit's foot, so I guess I wasn't too terribly traumatized. My third-grade class went to a rabbit farm and cooed over all the cute little rabbits and how sweet and charming they were.

I can't find any info about her on the web. Probably because it was pre-Google. We also had a guy from western Kansas come in, usually for the Fourth Graders, and would cook buffalo burgers—to promote buffalo meat as a healthy alternative to beef (and to create future customers).

Plainville is a major turkey supplier and they also apparently love school groups (it was a family owned and operated business until a year or so ago when it got too big for the family and they sold half of it off). Honestly, it was by far the coolest field trip ever. We visited a local turkey farm when I was in school.
