OAKLAND — Children dressed in their pajamas will welcome baby lambs, goats, calves and other newborn animals also wearing pajamas, on May 1 at the ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party at Hart-to-Hart Farm & Education Center in Albion.
The free ShineOnCass event is held each year in honor of Cassidy Charette, an Oakland teen who died in a hayride accident in 2014, and who was a long-time summer camper at Hart-to-Hart Farm.
The event is free, but families attending are asked to bring pet food and items to donate to Humane Society Waterville Area in memory of Cassidy Charette, who was a longtime shelter volunteer.
There will be two sessions offered, 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 to 2 p.m., with limited capacity of 80 children per session. Registration is required at shineoncass.org or hart2hartfarm.org.
The annual 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.
Hart-to-Hart Farm & Education Center is a family-owned and operated organic dairy farm that offers educational programs for children, adults and families.
