BLOOMSBURG, Pa. If you or your kids ever wanted to go to an event like Comic-Con in San Diego, where people dress up as their favorite superheroes and celebrate all things comic books and more, then a new event hitting our area called AlphaGeekCon could be for you this weekend in Columbia County.
Organizers want it to look and feel a lot like a comic con, which has played out for years all over the globe.
Kids get up close and personal with animals at petting zoo
The Peaceable Kingdom Petting Zoo hosted an educational, interactive experience at the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum.
The Peaceable Kingdom is a mobile, traveling petting zoo. Workers travel all over Pennsylvania, showing off wildlife and reptiles.
Kids were able to get up close and personal with pigs, an alligator, snakes, and even a baby sheep.
“It offered a great opportunity in a safe environment for kids to just get out of the house and do something fun,” said Museum Director Ginny Weibel.
Masks and social distancing were required at the event in Bloomsburg.
