A Burro By Any Other Name . . . Isn’t Cookie
A fuzzy white burro, nameless since her birth Oct. 17 at the Orange County Fairgrounds, will be called Cookie--fitting considering her mother’s name is Sugar.
In an effort to find a name, Centennial Farm staff members enlisted the help of Davis Elementary School, adjacent to the fairgrounds on Arlington Drive.
Students debated such names as Sprinkles, Roxy, Casper, Thunder, Midnight, Lucy and Lulu. But it was the students in Nancy Heiman’s class who came up with the name that appealed most to the farm staff.
“Cookie was a perfect name because, just like her mother, she has a sweet disposition,” said Gayle Corey, Centennial Farm assistant supervisor.
The farm, free to visitors, is open 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Information: (714) 708-1618.
