Petting zoo equipment and ponies will be up for auction from the estate of a man who released dozens of exotic animals in eastern Ohio almost two years ago and then committed suicide. The items are among thousands from Terry Thompson's estate that could be purchased today at his farm in Zanesville. More than 60 cars will be up for bid, along with motorcycles, car parts and an Amish buggy. Organizers say they're charging a $25-per-car admission fee.
