Watch the Ostrich and Camel Races This Weekend in Bossier

This weekend, there will be no lack of Labor Day activities. Although most of us are focused on getting out on the water or Labor Day BBQs our friends are hosting there is something very unique that has captured my attention. I mean they had me at exotic.

It's no secret that Louisiana Downs Raceway always has something up their sleeves when it comes to fun and they had me at ostrich races.

Sunday will be fun for your entire family. The world-famous race track is hosting exotic animal races with camels and ostriches ready to entertain us all.

There will be food trucks for every craving.

Food trucks will be open from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. You can have it all, including Louisiana Funnel Cakes, a Pizza truck, a BBQ truck, C Unique Snow Cones, and so many more so bring all the cash.

Sunday, September 5th the Exotic Animal Races take over at Harrah's Louisiana Downs.

You can get there as early as 11:00 a.m. and the first race which is the thoroughbreds will kick off at 2:45 p.m. the camels race kicks off at 4:15 p.m. the ostrich races kick off at 5:25 p.m.

We don't know if they will have the face painting or the petting zoo due to COVID-19 restrictions. I know several littles that would lose their minds if they were allowed into a petting zoo. Hopefully, they steer clear of ostriches, I heard they are mean.

To prepare yourself for a potential incident, always keep your vet's phone number handy, along with an after-hours clinic you can call in an emergency. The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center also has a hotline you can call at (888) 426-4435 for advice.

Even with all of these resources, however, the best cure for food poisoning is preventing it in the first place. To give you an idea of what human foods can be dangerous, Stacker has put together a slideshow of 30 common foods to avoid. Take a look to see if there are any that surprise you.
