One of the things I love so much about my job is meeting new people.AND animals too! Yesterday 96-5 The Fox and I were out at Elk Ridge Park and what a beautiful day. Families were enjoying the weather and stopping by to visit the
H.I.P.P Kids Therapy booth. You should have seen the huge smiles and eyes wide open from the children who stopped by to pet some baby goats and a pig. Brittany Schock and her sisters Brenna and Bailey, accompanied by her husband Wyatt Mack made so many people happy - and that s what they do best! H.I.P.P Kids Therapy s goal is to enrich the quality of life for children, enabling them to grow and achieve their highest functional, behavioral, social, and developmental potential. This is their 5th year, and they are located at 1204 Whitman, here in Mandan. Here is their website for you to check out -

An event designed to raise PTSD awareness is planned for Tuesday at Elk Ridge Park from noon to 9 p.m.
The Rocky Mountain Service Dog Project is putting on the event, called ;IGY6, which organizers hope becomes an annual occurrence.
Raelene Penman, the organizationâs president and founder, said the event name stands for âI got your six,â with the semicolon representing a pause. When faced with self-harm impulses, taking a pause can allow people to resist those thoughts and instead reach out for help.

âWeâre trying to talk to people to help them understand that suicide is not the answer,â Penman said. âThereâs plenty of people out there who will help you. Itâs not just an event for people who have PTSD, itâs an event to help bring awareness so people understand what it truly is and what they can do to help with it.â
