Children dressed in their pajamas plan to welcome baby lambs, goats, calves and other newborn animals (also wearing pajamas) at the ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower & PJ Party planned for Sunday, May 1, at the Hart-to-Hart Farm & Education Center, 16 Duck Pond Lane in Albion. There will be two sessions offered, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2 p.m., with a limited capacity of 80 children per session.

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.

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 ShineOnCass Animal Baby Shower is held each year in honor of Cassidy Charette, an Oakland teen who died in a hayride accident in 2014 and was a long-time 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 Cassidy, who also was a longtime shelter volunteer.

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