4 questions with the Animal DEN

Tell me about your business. What items/services do you sell?
My name is Becky Scott & my daughter Zara Meadows and I own this business. We are a portable stuffed animal building business where kids can kreate their own stuffed animals we have over 50 animal skins for the kids to choose from and we also sell outfits to go on those animals. If you buy one of each you get a free book bag.

What inspired you to start your business?
We have been doing this for about a year and we started this business because we want to pay for her kids to go to Judah Christian school.

What is your favorite part about attending festivals/events?
Our favorite parts about these festivals would be all the people we meet, but we also enjoy when we do the local ones seeing familiar faces, family and friends.

What is your favorite fair food or carnival ride?
As for carnival food and rides, we don’t really have time for either of them, but we love all the local food vendors when we get a chance. Most of the time when we finally decide to get some food, we get overwhelmed with customers at that same time. So, when we have a slow spurt, we go buy food. LOL
