FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (KSAX) - The goat that escaped a Fergus Falls nativity scene back in December has finally been caught after 25 days on the loose.

Karen Aakre, Curly’s owner, said the four-year-old Angora goat was found Jan. 18 at around 4 p.m. on a farm southwest of Fergus Falls. Curly was found shivering mixed in with other goats on Tony Loomer’s farm, Loomer said.

Both Jim and Karen Aakre hauled the goat home in their car and she was safe and sound by 8:30 that night.

The goat initially escaped during a Christmas Eve service at Bethlehem Lutheran Church during a live nativity scene presentation. Since, Curly has been spotted many times around town, but no one was able to catch the furry fugitive.

The Aakre's said they were happey to be reunited with Curly.

“Jim (Aakre) held her the whole way home and she just immediately put her head in his lap and just like 'ahhhhh I'm safe,'" Karen Aakre, said.

As promised, the Loomer family received a prize worth almost $300, which they said they plan on giving back to the church where Curly originally escaped.
