Richland and West Richland residents on Facebook commented, "Photos or it didn't happen," to which, West Richland resident Courtney Mattila replied..."FUN WAS HAD..." She had the proof! Just look at those smiles.

The inquisitive goat named Buckwheat made friends at the store, and was transported to a neighboring resident with goats until his owner, Sarah Hermann could get him.

Everyone now is speculating when and where the next great escape will take place. In all seriousness, I'm so happy Buckwheat was reunited with his owner. Sarah said he loves getting attention at Yoke's.
