ALBION — Children dressed in their pajamas plan to welcome baby lambs, goats, calves and other newborn animals (also wearing pajamas) on Sunday, May 7, at the ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party.

The event will be held at the Hart-to-Hart Farm & Education Center, 16 Duck Pond Lane.

There will be two sessions offered, 10-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2 p.m., with capacity of 80 children per session, according to a news release from Monica Charette with the ShineOnCass Foundation.

The event features educational stations that include learning how to milk a cow, fetching eggs from the chicken coop, spinning lamb’s wool, and participation in goat yoga. Children will be able to hold, and have photos taken with, the newborn baby animals.

The education center is a family owned and operated organic dairy farm that offers a variety of educational programs for children, adults and families. The animal baby shower is held each year in honor of Cassidy Charette, an Oakland teen who died in a hayride accident in 2014, and who was a summer camper at Hart-to-Hart Farm.

Families attending the free event are asked to bring pet food and items to donate to Humane Society Waterville Area in memory of Charette, who was a longtime shelter volunteer.

Registration is required at shineoncass.org or hart2hartfarm.org. For more information, email shineoncass@gmail.com.
