CELEBRATE SPRING: Petting Farm annual event is April 18


The animals at the Heritage Park Petting Farm invite you and your family to come and "Celebrate Spring" from 11 a.m, to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 18. The annual shearing of the sheep will take place on that day. 

You can watch sheep farmer Deb Caryl trim the sheep to make them comfortable for summer. The hum of the tractors will be in the air when the Tri-County Two Cylinder Tractor Club showcases their prize tractors. Events at the Heritage Park Petting Farm would not be complete without the skills of Lisa Porter of Flutterby Faces. She will be painting faces with bright springtime styles. Check her fee schedule at the visitor center. 

Pony Rides will also be going on at the farm for a fee. There will be free crafts for the children and other spring inspired activities. Light refreshments will also be available for purchase. There will also be a shuttle running from the farm front door to the library parking lot for your convenience.
