Pender County 4-H youth enjoyed the first Summer Fun Day event. They enjoyed camping overnight at Jones Lake State Park, swimming, hiking a trail, learning about the park's natural resources, roasting hotdogs and s'mores over a campfire and visiting the Aloha Safari Park where they got to pet giraffes, goats, learn all about primates and experience wild animals such as ostriches and zebras up close during a drive through safari.
