SHIRLEY: I'M I'M SHIRLEY MIN.

REGINA: I AM REGINA MITCHELL.

NEXT ON YOU OUGHTA KNOW.

WHAT IS -- GOING TO DO NOW THAT WORK FROM?

HOME IS COMING TO AN END?

WE HAVE SOME TIPS.

SHIRLEY: WE ARE SURE THAT IS A BEAVER.

MAKING SURE IT DOESN'T DESTROY THE TREES.

REGINA: WE TAKE YOU IN THE CRAYOLA IDEAL WORKS WORLD PREMIERE EXHIBIT AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.

>> WE TELL YOU ABOUT A FUN ACTIVITY THE KIDS CAN DO WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS.

♪ SHIRLEY: HEY, EVERYONE.

REGINA: WE ARE BACK.

SHIRLEY:SHIRLEY: NOT ONLY BACK IN STUDIO, LOTS OF AMERICANS ARE RETURNING TO THE OFFICE.

REGINA: WHICH IS GOOD, BUT NOT EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IS HAPPY.

MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN NEW PETS, AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN USED TO HAVING YOU AROUND.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE SUDDENLY LEFT ALONE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY?

WE WENT TO AN EXPERT FOR SOME ADVICE.

>> I AM AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOR AND WELFARE.

>> ONE, BECAUSE THE SCHEDULE OF PEOPLE CHANGED.

BEFORE OUR PETS, WE USED TO STAY HOME ALONE FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS, SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS HOME.

IT IS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU BROKE THE CONTRACT, THE AGREEMENT.

THESE ARE MY HOURS.

THIS COUCH IS MINE.

SOME OF THE PETS TAKE IT BETTER, LIKE FINALLY THEY WILL SPEND TIME WITH ME.

THE ANIMALS THAT WE SEE THE MOST WITH, THEY -- ONE PROBLEM IS ANXIETY RELATED PROBLEMS, BARKING, SOMETIMES UNRULY BEHAVIOR.

VERY SOON, WE WILL SEE ANOTHER CATEGORY OF ANXIETY RELATED PROBLEMS, WHICH IS WHAT WE CALL SEPARATION RELATED PROBLEMS.

WHEN PEOPLE WOULD GO BACK TO -- MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF YOUR PET'S BEHAVIOR.

IF YOU KNOW THEY HAVE ANXIETY, GET READY IN ADVANCE.

MAKE SURE THE CHANGES DON'T HAPPEN SUDDENLY.

MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SPOT WHERE IT CAN HAVE SOME RELAXING TIME INDEPENDENTLY AND THERE IS MORE THAN ONE OPTION.

SAME THING OUTSIDE.

IF YOU WALK YOUR DOG EVERY DAY AT 11:30 A.M., EARLIER OR LATER.

NO ABRUPT CHANGES, LEAVING THE DOG SUDDENLY FROM ONE HOUR TO EIGHT OR 12 HOURS.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK.

IF YOUR DOG IS SHOWING A RESPONSE INDICATIVE OF STRESS AND ANXIETY, IF YOU SHOULD FIND THE DESTRUCTION, IF YOUR NEIGHBOR IS TELLING YOU YOUR DOG IS BARKING ALL DAY, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE PROBLEM.

TALK TO A VET BEFORE IT GETS WORSE.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL AT LEAST HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE PROBLEMS.

THEREFORE, A VERY STRONG ATTACHMENT, A VERY STRONG BOND WITH YOUR PET, A GOOD MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WILL NOT GIVE UP, THEY WILL DO THEIR BEST.

♪ REGINA: ANOTHER PIECE OF ADVICE, GET A NANNY CAM TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PET AS YOU LEAVE FOR SMALL AMOUNTS OF TIME TO SEE HOW THEY REACT, AND GRADUALLY INCREASE THE TIME AWAY.

SHIRLEY: FIND A LINK TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE ON OUR WEBSITE.

COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC IS POSING OTHER CHALLENGES, LIKE SHORTAGES OF PRODUCTS.

A LOCAL ECONOMIC EXPERT SAYS THINGS WILL GET BETTER, BUT IT WILL TAKE PATIENCE.

♪ >> I'M PAT HARKER, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE WORLD RESERVE BANK PHILADELPHIA.

WEEK PUT THE ECONOMY AND WHAT WE CALL A MEDICALLY INDUCED,.

WE SHUT DOWN PARTS OF THE ECONOMY TO GET THE VIRUS UNDER CONTROL.

NOW THAT WE ARE REAWAKENING THE ECONOMY, IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

BUSINESSES HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.

HOW MUCH DO I BRING BACK?

NOBODY ANTICIPATED THE COMPUTER CHIP PROBLEM WE WOULD HAVE IN SUPPLY.

THE COMPUTER CHIP MANUFACTURERS CUT DOWN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT THINK ABOUT THE DEMAND.

EVERYTHING WE OWN HAS A COMPUTER CHIP IN IT.

YOUR CAR IS BASICALLY A GIANT SET OF COMPUTERS, WITH STEEL AND PLASTIC.

ALSO, APPLIANCES.

PEOPLE HAVING HARD TIMES GETTING WASHERS, DRYERS, DISHWASHERS.

THAT IS PROBABLY CAUSING THE MOST HEADACHE RIGHT NOW, IN TERMS OF OVERALL PRODUCTION.

SOME MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVING TO SHUT DOWN ASSEMBLY LINES BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE COMPUTER CHIPS RIGHT NOW.

REGINA: THE COMPUTER CHIP HE TALKED ABOUT IS THE REASON FOR THE STICKER SHOCK YOU MAY BE SEEING IF BUYING A NEW VEHICLE.

ONE COMPANY HAS COME OUT WITH A CREATIVE IDEA TO GET YOU BEHIND THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY IF STUCK IN A LEAD.

♪ >> THE GOAL IS TO MATCH UP PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET OUT OF -- LEASES FOR THOSE INTO THE NEW PROCESS LEASES.

PEOPLE POST THEIR CURRENT LEASE OFFERINGS WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF US MATCHING THEM UP WITH SOMEBODY TO TAKE OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE LEASE.

♪ >> OUR GOAL TO MATCH UP THOSE INDIVIDUALS, LOCK THE PROCESS WITH THE COMPANY TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE DONE PROPERLY.

A REALLY EASY WAY TO THINK ABOUT HOW IT WORKS, WE ARE LIKE A DATING SERVICE FOR CAR PEOPLE.

WE WENT TO MATCH UP THOSE THAT GET OUT WITH THOSE THAT WANT TO COME IN.

WE SEE PRICES GO UP ON THE NEW CAR, THE NEW TRUCK.

PRICES ACROSS THE BOARD ON USED VEHICLES.

THE FIRST IS PROBABLY MORE OBVIOUS, ESPECIALLY A YEAR AGO.

RAN ACROSS THE COVID PROBLEM.

REALLY CUT BACK THE WORKFORCE PRODUCING CARS AS A RESULT.

SUPPLIES WITH CONTINUED DEMAND.

WE ARE PREDICTING A MORE NORMALIZED MARKET BY LATE 2021, EARLY 2022.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY FINDING VEHICLES TO CHECK OUT ALTERNATIVE MESSAGES TO GET A VEHICLE.

REGINA: YOU OUGHTA KNOW ABOUT THESE POSSIBLE BEAVER SIGHTINGS IN FISH TOWNS.

WE WILL CHECK IN WITH OUR FRIENDS.

MICHAELA WENNBERG COVERED THE STORY FOR US.

>> IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I'M MICHAELA WENNBERG, WE RECENTLY COVERED THIS FUN STORY ABOUT A BEAVER IN FISHTOWN.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN A TON OF IN PERSON SIGHTINGS OF THE ANIMAL, BUT VOLUNTEERS ACTUALLY GOT SOME REALLY COOL, BLURRY PICTURES OF IT.

NICE, STEALTHY PICTURES.

THERE IS EVIDENCE OF ONE DURING THE DAY, BECAUSE THERE IS A RING OF BITE MARKS AROUND THE BASE OF WILLOW TREES.

THAT IS CHARACTERISTIC A BEAVER IS IN THE AREA, AS OPPOSED TO A COMMON ANIMAL LIKE A GROUNDHOG.

THIS IS GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DELAWARE RIVER.

IF A BEAVER IS AROUND THE DELAWARE RIVER, THAT MEANS ALL OF THE WORK PRESERVATIONISTS AND VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN DOING TO CLEAN UP THE RIVERBED BED HAS PROBABLY BEEN WORKING.

THE DELAWARE RIVER IS NOT A BODY OF WATER WE THINK OF AS SUPER CLEAN, BUT PRESERVATIONISTS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE FRIENDLY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

IF THERE IS A BEAVER, THAT MEANS THE RIVER IS HABITABLE, AND THERE IS EVIDENCE THEIR WORK IS EFFECTIVE.

BEAVERS DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

BY BUILDING THE DAMS THEY LIVE IN IN THE RIVER, THEY CREATE A NEW HABITAT FOR EVEN MORE ANIMALS, CREATE A NEW ECOSYSTEM.

THIS TRACKS IN GENERAL WITH MORE OF A TREND OF BEAVERS POPPING UP IN PHILADELPHIA IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.

THERE ARE DOWNSIDES.

BEAVERS ARE NOT PERFECT.

WHEN THEY CHEW THROUGH THESE TREES, THEY CAN CHEW THEM TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WILL FALL OVER.

THE PARK VOLUNTEERS FROM THAT FRIENDS GROUP ROPED OFF ONE OF THE TREES TO PROTECT IT FROM THE BEAVER.

USING GRANT MONEY, THEY WILL PLANT NEW TREES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

IN THE MEANTIME, THEY HAVE SET UP A CAMERA AT THE BASE OF ONE OF THE TREES TO GET MORE CLEAR IMAGES AND HOPEFULLY VIDEO OF THE BEAVER SO THEY CAN PROVE THEY REALLY HAVE A BEAVER, WHICH IS COOL.

THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF ALL OF THE FUN THINGS WE COVER.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

SHIRLEY: FOR OTHER STORIES THAT ARE UNIQUELY PHILADELPHIA, CHECK OUT -- REGINA: AIR TRAVEL IS TAKING OFF.

THERE ARE LOTS OF CHANGES YOU SHOULD EXPECT.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD -- IN THE PANDEMIC.

A LOT OF WAYS TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, THERE ARE THREE THINGS THEY CAN DO WHILE THEY ARE WAITING.

THEY CAN GET THEIR REAL ID LICENSE.

YOU NORMALLY USE YOUR LICENSE AS YOUR ID.

IT NEEDS TO BE A REAL ID LICENSE, OR YOU CAN USE ANOTHER ACCEPTABLE FORM OF ID, SUCH AS A PASSPORT.

BUT THEY ARE JUST MEASURES IN THOSE PROGRESS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ACTUAL LICENSES AND NOT ANY TYPE OF FRAUDULENT ID.

THE SECOND THING WE CAN DO, EXPEDITED PROGRAM.

DURING A PANDEMIC, TSA PRE-CHECKS IS MORE VALUABLE, BECAUSE IT REDUCES TOUCH POINTS BETWEEN YOUR BELONGINGS.

YOU CAN LEAVE ALL OF YOUR -- IN YOUR CARRY-ON BAG, TRAVEL THINGS, INCLUDING A SMALL CONTAINER OF LIQUID GELS AND AEROSOLS.

YOU CAN LEAVE IN ELECTRONICS.

THE PRE-CHECK CAUGHT -- COSTS $85.

THE COST OF A COUPLE OF LATTES.

THE THIRD IS, DOWNLOAD THE FREE TSA APP.

IT IS CALLED MY TSA.

THE BEST FEATURE ABOUT THE APP IS THE DOWNLOADABLE FEATURE.

TYPE IN THE NAME OF THE ITEM, IT WILL LET YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PUT IT IN YOUR CHECKED BAG, CARRY-ON BAG.

YOU CAN PICK YOUR AIRPORT, ANY DELAYS FROM THE AIRPORT, IT WILL GIVE YOU WAIT TIMES, CHECKPOINTS, EVERYTHING.

SHIRLEY: THE INSTITUTE IS BACK OPEN WITH THEIR NEWEST EXHIBIT, CRAYOLA WORKS.

WITH SUMMER AROUND THE CORNER, A GREAT SUMMER PROJECT IDEA FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS, TOO.

>> WELCOME TO THE CRAYOLA IDEA WORKS EXHIBITION.

♪ >> THIS EXHIBITION IS A CELEBRATION OF CREATIVE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING.

THIS IS THE FIRST EXHIBITION THAT WE ARE REALLY WELCOMING PEOPLE BACK TO THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOT OF THE IDEAS THAT MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT AT HOME.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THEM TO LIFE IN LITERAL FULL-COLOR.

♪ >> WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS EXHIBIT IS IT IS A VERY PERSONALIZED EXHIBIT.

WHEN YOU COME IN, YOU GET A WRISTBAND TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS THROUGH THE EXHIBIT.

IT KEEPS TRACK OF DIFFERENT QUESTIONS YOU WOULD ANSWER ALONG THE WAY.

YOU GET TO LEARN NOT JUST HOW TO BE CREATIVE, BUT WHAT KIND OF A CREATIVE PERSON YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.

THE SECOND PART IS THE COLORVERSE.

TO TRY APPLYING THOSE CREATIVE DESIGN SKILLS TO REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS.

THERE'S A LOT OF SCIENCE IN HERE TO GIVE OUT HOW WE APPLY THE DESIGN THINKING TO SOLVING PROBLEMS OF SUSTAINABLE CITIES, OR BUILDING A STATION ON MARS, OR FIGURING OUT HOW TO SAVE CORAL REEFS.

I THINK MANY PEOPLE COME IN THINKING ABOUT CREATIVITY BEST AS A MINDSET YOU EITHER HAVE OR DON'T HAVE.

I THINK ONE THING THIS EXHIBIT DOES IS BUST THAT MYTH.

♪ >> WHAT I HOPE PEOPLE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS IS WE ARE ALL CREATIVE THINKERS.

BUT WHEN YOU APPLY THAT CREATIVITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS -- IT IS REALLY ABOUT DISCOVERING AND THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU THINK, BUT ALSO APPRECIATING THAT WE WORK BETTER TOGETHER BECAUSE WE BRING THOSE STRENGTHS TOGETHER.

REGINA: AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, WE KNOW EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BE CREATIVE AT HOME, AS WELL.

OUR SPARK OF SCIENCE VIDEOS ARE A GREAT PLACE TO START, TO THINK ABOUT DIFFERENT PROJECTS TO TRY AND DIFFERENT THINGS TO EXPLORE.

I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITES, HOW TO DESIGN A HOVERCRAFT.

I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A CHALLENGE, TO TRY BUILDING THIS HOVERCRAFT, BUT THINK ABOUT HOW TO PUT YOUR OWN.

WHAT KIND OF VARIABLES YOU CAN TEST, SEE IF IT CAN CARRY ANYTHING.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN TRY WITH THE AT-HOME SCIENCE RESOURCES.

WE HOPE YOU WILL GIVE IT A TRY STARTING WITH THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW.

>> WELCOME TO ANOTHER SPIKE OF SCIENCE.

MY NAME IS STEPHEN.

I'M A SCIENCE INTERPRETER AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN HOVERCRAFT.

A TABLETOP HOVERCRAFT.

YOU WILL MAKE IT OUT OF A CD.

THERE ARE OTHER COMPONENTS INVOLVED.

LET'S IMAGINE THIS WILL BE A VEHICLE.

SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.

IT IS NOT VERY GOOD.

BECAUSE WHEN IT IS TRAVELING ACROSS THE TABLE, THIS SURFACE IS RUBBING AGAINST THIS SURFACE, CREATING A FOURTH YOU CAN MAKE WITH YOUR HANDS.

TRY RUBBING YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.

YOU FEEL THAT EFFORT, THE HEAT BEING CREATED?

THE FORCE YOU ARE CREATING IS CALLED FRICTION.

NOW, LET'S PUT SOME AIR BETWEEN THOSE HANDS.

I DON'T FEEL THAT HEAT, I DON'T FEEL THAT FRICTION, AND IT IS WAY EASIER TO MOVE MY HANDS AROUND.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ADD SOME AIR BETWEEN THE CD AND THIS TABLE.

IF YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON A CD, THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NEED.

THE SECOND IS A TOP LIKE THIS.

I GOT IT FROM A WATER BOTTLE, DRINK THE CONTEXT -- CONTENTS, AND I'M USING IT FOR THIS.

THE LAST THING IS A BALLOON.

WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS GLUE THIS TOP ONTO THE MIDDLE OF THE CD WITH HOT GLUE.

THEN YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THIS BALLOON ON TOP OF IT.

MY SPOUT IS OPEN RIGHT NOW, WHICH MEANS I CAN INFLATE THE BALLOON.

THAT IS OUR HOVERCRAFT.

LET'S SEE HOW IT WORKS.

IN ORDER TO MAKE IT GO, ALL I NEED TO DO IS OPEN THE SPOUT, WHICH WILL RELEASE THE AIR.

THE ELASTICITY OF THE BALLOON WILL PUSH IT OUT BETWEEN THE CD AND TABLE, TAKING AWAY THE FRICTION, IT WILL BE A HOVERCRAFT.

3, 2, 1.

♪ >> OKAY, SOME PRO TIPS.

FIRST OF ALL, MAKE SURE WHEN YOU ARE BLOWING IT UP, DON'T HOLD IT BY THE CD OR IT MAY BREAK OFF THE SPOUT.

DON'T OPEN IT ALL THE WAY, THAT WAY THE RIDE LASTS A LITTLE LONGER.

THAT IS YOUR HOVERCRAFT.

HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME WITH US.

THANKS FOR COMING TO ANOTHER SPIKE OF SCIENCE.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE SOON.

>> THE CRAYOLA IDEA WORKS EXHIBIT RUNS THROUGH JULY 18.

FIND LINKS FOR TICKETS AND MORE OF THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE'S SPARK OF SCIENCE VIDEOS ON OUR WEBSITE.

REGINA: PHILADELPHIA'S PREMIER CONTEMPORARY BALLET IS BACK.

♪ >> SO THRILLED TO BE PRESENTING AT THE MUSIC CENTER JUNE 24 THROUGH THE 26.

WE ARE DOING 4 PERFORMANCES.

THREE NEW WORKS BY THREE DIFFERENT CHOREOGRAPHERS.

HOPE BLINKEN, WHO JUST RETIRED AFTER 20 YEARS.

SHE ACTUALLY ALSO DANCED.

WE ARE DOING IT FOR DWIGHT RODEN, WHO FOUNDED HIS COMPANY CALLED COMPLEXION.

THEN A PIECE BY MATTHEW MENAN, INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF SOHO.

YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN PICNIC, WINE AND BEER, SET UP A PICNIC BLANKET AND MEET WITH YOUR FRIENDS BEFORE THE SHOW, AND TAKE YOUR BASKET DOWN INTO YOUR SEAT.

>> FOR TICKETS, GO TO BALLETX .ORG, OR TICKETMASTER.

>> A LOCAL COMMUNITY SHOWED SOME PRIDE LAST THURSDAY.

THEY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE EQUITY INITIATIVE POSTED THEIR FIRST ANNUAL PRIDE PARADE IN CELEBRATION AND SUPPORT OF ITS LGBTQIA COMMUNITY.

>> WE HAVE OVER 750 PARTICIPANTS WHO WILL BE MARCHING IN THE PARADE.

IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE THIS HUGE EVENT, WAY MORE THAN I THINK ANY OF US ANTICIPATED.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE THE SUPPORT, NOT ONLY OF THE TOWNSHIP ITSELF, BUT THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES, AS WELL.

IT WAS FIRSTLY ORGANIZED BY THE EQUITY INITIATIVE.

THEY HAD DONE SUCH A REMARKABLE JOB.

WE REALLY WANT TO SPEAK TO THE YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY, THOSE STRUGGLING WITH EITHER THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY, AND FEEL THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A VOICE.

WE REALLY JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY FEEL SAFE, INCLUDED.

IT IS TURNING OUT TO BE THIS WONDERFUL THREE-DAY CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND LOVE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

-- REGINA: ALPACAS ARE ADORABLE ANIMALS.

RELATED TO LLAMAS, THEY ARE KNOWN FOR SUPER SOFT FIBERS THAT CAN BE MADE INTO CLOTHING.

YOU CAN GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THESE CREATURES BY VISITING AN ALPACA FARM IN SOUTH JERSEY.

HERE'S MORE FROM SANDY LEVINE.

♪ >> THEY ARE VERY GENTLE, LOVING CREATURE WITH THESE BIG BRIGHT EYES THAT STARE INTO YOUR SOUL, AND EYELASHES THAT ARE UNBELIEVABLE.

ALL OF YOUR WORRIES GO AWAY WHEN YOU GO SEE THEM, NO MATTER WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND.

>> IN JUST FIVE YEARS, TERI AND MICHAEL VAUGHN FISHER'S INTEREST IN RAISING ALPACAS HAS GROWN INTO THIS SPRAWLING 22 ACRE WINDING CREEK ALPACA FARM IN SOUTH JERSEY, WHEREWITH THE RECENT BIRTH OF FIVE BABIES, THE HERD IS NEARLY 30 STRONG.

>> WOULD YOU>> -- WE DO RAISE THEM TO SELL THEM, WE TEACH OWNERS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM, WE USE FIBERS TO SELL PRODUCTS OUT OF OUR STORE.

REPORTER: THEY ARE NATIVE TO SOUTH AMERICA, THEIR HEAVY COATS MAKE THEM WELL SUITED TO THE COLD WEATHER OF THE ANDES MOUNTAINS.

SHEARING THEM EVERY SPRING, SO THEY CAN BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN THE HOT SUMMER WEATHER HERE.

>> IT TAKES ABOUT THREE TO FIVE MINUTES PER ANIMAL TO HAVE THEIR HAIRCUT.

WE THEN SEND IT TO THE MILL TO BE PROCESS INTO YARN, THEN WE HAVE SCARVES AND THINGS THAT WE RECEIVED BACK FROM THE MILL.

THIS LITTLE BABY WAS BORN ON SUNDAY IN THE RAIN.

REPORTER: THE ADORABLE BABY ALPACA HAS A GESTATION PERIOD OF NEARLY A FULL YEAR.

THEY TYPICALLY WEIGH 15 TO 20 POUNDS AT BIRTH.

>> THEY ARE UP OFF THE GROUND WITHIN AN HOUR, NURSING WITHIN TWO HOURS, AND RUNNING AROUND WITHIN THREE HOURS.

THAT IS BECAUSE IN THE WILD, THEY HAVE TO GET OUT OF WHERE PRESSERS -- PREDATORS CAN GET THEM.

BUT THEY ARE READY TO GO.

>> EDUCATION THROUGH AGRO TOURISM HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT MISSION OF THE FARM.

THEY SHARE THEIR EXTENSIVE ALPACA KNOWLEDGE WITH THE PUBLIC.

>> THEY CAN'T BITE YOU, BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE TEETH ON THE BOTTOM.

>> POSTING TORS FOR SMALL GROUPS BY APPOINTMENT.

>> WE TEACH YOU ABOUT WHERE THEY COME FROM, WHY WE RAISE THEM, HOW WE RAISE THEM, WHAT WE DO WITH THEIR FIBER, THE THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT ALPACAS.

WORKING FROM HOME WHEN THE PANDEMIC STARTED, IT HAS BEEN A NICE ESCAPE TO COME, JUST TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

BE OUT IN NATURE.

IT IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT MAKES MY WEEKEND GREAT.

>> THIS IS AWESOME.

BEING OUTSIDE AND TAKING THE KIDS SOMEWHERE IS EXCITING.

ESPECIALLY BEING COOPED UP.

GETTING OUT AND EXPLORING, HAVING THEM WITH THE ANIMALS IS COOL.

>> MOST VISITORS HAVE THE SAME SENTIMENT, THEY LOVE THEM.

YOU CAN SEE IT WRITTEN ALL OVER THEIR FACES.

PEOPLE ENJOY BEING OUTSIDE WITH THEIR ANIMALS, AND PEACEFUL CREATURES.

IT BRINGS A LOT OF HAPPINESS TO PEOPLE.

REGINA: THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO VISIT THE FARM.

SELF-GUIDED TOURS ON SATURDAY, OR PRIVATE GROUP TORS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

>> IT IS FEELING LIKE SUMMER.

IT IS A GREAT TIME FOR THE KIDS TO RECONNECT WITH GRANDPARENTS AND COLLECTING -- AND COLLECTING COINS MAY BE THE ACTIVITY FOR THEM.

>> WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD, MY GRANDFATHER INTRODUCED ME TO COINS.

I WOULD VISIT MY GRANDPARENTS, HE WOULD GO TO HIS ROOM AND COME DOWN WITH A BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HALF DOLLAR, VARIOUS THINGS.

HE GAVE ME A POP UP BOOK TO STORE THE COINS IN, AND A HANDFUL OF WHEAT PENNIES TO GET ME STARTED.

THAT STARTED MY COIN COLLECTION.

THEN I WORKED DIFFERENT JOBS, LIKE DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS.

YOU WOULD GET A COUPLE OF SILVER QUARTERS.

IT WOULD GO RIGHT INTO MY COLLECTION.

EVERY TIME I MADE MONEY, I WAS RUNNING TO THE COIN STORE AND BUYING COINS.

♪ >> KIDS CAN GET INVOLVED WITH COLLECTING COINS IN A FEW DIFFERENT MANNERS.

A STATE COURT OR PROGRAM BACK IN 1995 THAT THE MINT STARTED RAN THROUGH 2009.

AFTER THAT, THEY CAME OUT WITH THE NATIONAL PARKS PROGRAM.

EACH YEAR, THE MINT PUT OUT FIVE DIFFERENT QUARTERS WITH DIFFERENT DESIGNS.

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO COLLECT ONE OF EACH DESIGN OF THE QUARTERS.

THAT IS ONE WAY IS A RELATIVELY CHEAP WAY TO START COIN COLLECTING, TO SEE IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A COIN STORE AND SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS OR GO ONLINE TO SHOP, YOU CAN GO THROUGH YOUR POCKET CHANGE.

IF THERE'S A JAR OF COINS AT HOME, YOU CAN GO THROUGH IT, PULL OUT THE UNIQUE ONES, AND START YOUR OWN COLLECTION.

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF BOOKS WHERE THEY HAVE ONE OF EACH YEAR, YOU CAN ALSO GET A BOOK WITH ONE OF EACH MINT MARK, AND TRY TO COLLECT TWO OF THEM FROM EACH STATE.

THE LATER DATE LINCOLN PENNIES ARE EASY TO DO FROM 2000 AND UP.

JEFFERSON NICKEL HAS ALWAYS BEEN EASY.

IT IS A GREAT ACTIVITY.

66 COLLECTING COINS, YOU LEARN6 NATIONAL PARKS.

THE MAIN NATIONAL PARKS AT ALL 50 STATES, YOU LEARN ABOUT THEM.

AND YOU ALSO LEARN ABOUT EVERY PRESIDENT AND ON THE DOLLAR COIN ITSELF, IT HAS THE YEARS THEY SERVED AS PRESIDENT.

A LOT OF HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, GO BY THE BOOK.

AND COMPLETE THE BOOK.

SAY I USED TO DO THIS AS A KID.

GO THROUGH THE JAR, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND IT.

ESPECIALLY LITTLE KIDS.

THEY LOVE TO HUNT AND LOOK FOR DIFFERENT THINGS TO FILL IN THE HOLES.

USUALLY WHEN A CHILD STARTS COLLECTING COINS OR SHOWS SOME KIND OF INTEREST, THEN THEY START TO ASK THE PARENTS, AND THE PARENTS USED TO COLLECT SILVER QUARTERS OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY WERE A KID.

MY FATHER COLLECTED SILVER DOLLARS.

ALMOST EVERY FAMILY HAS COINS SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.

NEXT TIME YOU ARE AT YOUR GRANDPARENTS HOUSE, ASK GRANDPA OR GRANDMA IF THEY EVER COLLECTED OLD COINS.

I'M QUITE SURE SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING AND THEY WILL SHOW YOU.

MAYBE IT WILL SPUR AN INTEREST IN THEM COLLECTING.

THEY ADD UP QUICKLY OVER TIME.

SIMPLE COIN COLLECTION, ADD A LITTLE BIT TO IT, IT CAN INCREASE TO A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BY THE TIME YOU ARE -- SHIRLEY: IF YOU HAVE ANY COIN RELATED QUESTIONS, CONNECT WITH MATT.

REGINA: SOUNDS LIKE A FUN FATHER'S DAY ACTIVITY.

>> IT IS ALWAYS NICE FINDING SOMETHING EVERYONE CAN ENJOY.

THAT IS IT FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

REGINA: WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.
