Denville -
Petting Zoo -- Bring together kids, animals and older people and what do you get? Franciscan Oaks Health Center--- the nursing home for the Denville lifecare community – found out. The Center mixed them together at a "petting zoo" and invited children from the Saint Clare's Hospital day care center to share the fun with animals from Jack's Petting Zoo, Boonton. The result: a perfect blend.
