MOBILE PETTING ZOO EVENT MAY HAVE LED TO POTENTIAL RABIES EXPOSURES

Several goats associated with a mobile petting zoo that was at a private event in Hickory (Burke County) on August 9 have tested positive for rabies.

Given the proximity to our county, Catawba County residents may have attended that event and come in contact with the goats while they were potentially infectious.

Because rabies is transmitted through an infected animal’s saliva, we are asking any Catawba County resident who attended that event and touched, held, fed or came in contact with these goats to call our Communicable Disease Nurses at (828) 695-5769.

Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms start. Rabies prophylaxis is important after an exposure because it can prevent symptoms from ever developing.

Huge congrats to our bar backs, Peanut & Birdie (aka Preston & Isaac), on graduating high school! It's wild considering we still have to explain how to cut lemons and limes properly at least twice a week.

We give them endless hell daily, but truthfully, they’re good kids and we’re proud of them. Watching them grow up while becoming part of this weird little bar family has been pretty cool.

Congrats to the Class of 2026. Now please go use that education to learn where we keep the extra trash bags.
