FALMOUTH, LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- Goats were the center of attention on Saturday afternoon for the "37th Annual Running of the Goats" in Falmouth, Lancaster County.

Kids ran with their goats down the course. One little girl stumbled and was dragged down the lane by her goat, but she was okay and laughed after her animal finally stopped!  Organizers say it's something you really have to see to believe.

"I saw all the fun with goat races in the newspaper about six or seven years ago. You see that and I thought 'I'll have to go check that out, like what the heck is a goat race?'," said Mark Aumen, the 2014-2015 Goat Race Champion.

To keep everyone even more entertained, there was a Kiddie Barrel Train, and for adults, Cow Patty Bingo.

The event was sponsored by the Falmouth Civic Association.
