Mill Creek MetroParks Farm hosted its 24th annual Farm Animal Baby Shower on April 10.
The farm was open to the public for people to come visit the three barns containing the baby farm animals. Several people attended and had the opportunity to interact with the animals. There were rabbits, horses, goats, pigs, chickens and more, some of them still awaiting the bird of their babies.
Some of the animals at the farm are part of the Barnyard Buddies program. Barnyard Buddies is a program in which a MetroParks staff member visits different schools and brings animals for the students to learn about and pet.
Volunteers and other staff members of the MetroParks Farm were available for any questions people may have had. They watched over the animals and allowed people to hold or pet them if they wished.
After visiting with the animals, cake and punch were available for the guests to enjoy.
The baby shower celebration represents the opening of the farms. It is an event to let people know they are open for the season and are always welcoming visitors.
