ALBION — Children can dress in their pajamas to welcome baby lambs, goats, calves and other newborn animals (also wearing pajamas), on Sunday, May 5, at the ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party at the Hart-to-Hart Farm & Education Center, 16 Duck Pond Lane.

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

The center is a family owned and operated organic dairy farm that offers spring and summer day camp educational programs for children. The event is held each year in honor of Cassidy Charette, an Oakland teen who died in a hayride accident in 2014 and was a longtime summer camper at Hart-to-Hart Farm.

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

There will be two sessions offered: 10-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2 p.m., with limited capacity of 80 children per session.

Registration is required at shineoncass.org or hart2hartfarm.org.
