Now I've seen everything...BLOOMINGTON-Staffers make decorations out of droppings from the zoo's two reindeer, Ealu and Rika. The droppings are dried, then clear-coated and either painted or rolled in glitter.
Zoo marketing director Susie Ohley has named the products "magical reindeer gem ornaments," and each comes with a label of authenticity. They cost $5 at the zoo gift shop.
Some folks are surprised at the size of the "gems," which are only about as big as marbles. "Reindeer are so big," zoo maintenance worker Sheldon Williams said. But the droppings are "just a big pile of small."

Don't let the farm kids see this...who knows what you'll have hanging off your Christmas tree...

Wow, you should send that article
to Mutch for we are always teasing
him about droppings. He is always
figuring out what critter it is
by their droppings. You know how
little kids always put decorations
and etc in their mouths, ugh. . . . Interesting article tho.
