Annual Tufts Veterinary Open House A Success No. Grafton, Mass – Police dogs, birds of prey, sheep sheering and close-up views of cells and parasites were some of the sights visitors saw at the 16th annual Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine Open House on Saturday, September 18, 1999. Held at 200 Westboro Rd (Rt 30) in North Grafton, Mass., from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM, the event offered animal lovers, parents, children and prospective students self-guided tours through the Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals and the Hospital for Large Animals, as well as a variety of live animal demonstrations, including both seeing-eye and rescue dogs, miniature horses, hawks, and bald eagles. For the scientifically minded, exhibits and demonstrations featured veterinary medical techniques, such as equine muscle therapy, the horse treadmill, and canine abdominal ultra-sound. And for the more festive and young-at-heart, there were wagon rides, a Teddy Bear Clinic, farm animals and plenty of refreshments. The all-day event, drew thousands of people from all over New England.
