In June of 2011, Doctor Christopher Martin and his staff participated in the Career Fair held at Walter Haigh School in Salem, New Hampshire. For this enlightening event, eighty five fourth and fifth grade students evaluated numerous professions to help determine what course they might want to take on their road of life. Main Street Animal Hospital explained the veterinary field with pride, and supplied plenty of visual stimuli to encourage the students to ask questions.
Many of the children approached the booth prepared with questions and material to record the answers. The staff provided the eager listeners with a lot of information as well as some fun give away items to help them remember the time they shared together. Perhaps the biggest draw to the booth was the radiograph viewer, ready and running with interesting images of broken limbs, 
bladder stones and even puppies. The children were pumped and kept the staff busy answering questions about animal care with a special focus on flea and tick preventive.
Doctor Martin and the staff at Main Street Animal Hospital are proud to have played a part in enlightening students on the veterinary field and helping to open their eyes to the many career opportunities available. We are grateful to Amy Patenaude, Guidance Counselor, for inviting us to partake in this event. We hope to see some of the students working alongside us in the future!
