ALBION — Children dressed in their pajamas plan to welcome baby lambs, goats, calves and other newborn animals (also wearing pajamas) on Sunday, May 4, at the ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party.
The free 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 limited capacity of 80 children per session.
The annual free event for children features educational stations that include learning 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 the newborn baby animals and have photos taken with them.
The center is a family-owned-and-operated organic dairy farm that offers spring and summer day camp educational programs for children. 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 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 was also a shelter volunteer.
Registration is required at shineoncass.org or hart2hartfarm.org. For more information email [email protected].
