Linden Taff, 8, of Winslow operates a cow milking simulator Sunday as his sister, Caryn, 10, waits her turn during the annual ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party at Hart to Hart Farm at 16 Duck Pond Lane in Albion. The simulator is used during a program that gives children a close look at dairy calves that were born at the farm. The event, which drew more than 400 children and adults, is held to remember Cassidy Charette, an Oakland teenager who died in a hayride accident in 2014. Children dressed in pajamas for the event to welcome 11 newborn baby goats. Attendees also learned how to spin wool, gather eggs and milk cows. New this year, children helped name the new babies. Attendees brought a “shower gift” of pet items to be donated in memory of Cassidy Charette to the Humane Society Waterville Area.
