MetroParks Farm hosts Farm Animal Baby Shower

MetroParks Farm will have its annual Farm Animal Baby Shower on Saturday.

Visitors will get to meet the farm’s newest arrivals, including goats, piglets, calves, chicks and ducklings. Those attending also will have the opportunity to see mother animals who are still expecting. A sheep shearing demonstration runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The shower takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the farm, 7574 Columbiana-Canfield Road, Canfield. Admission is free, but there is a fee (cash only) for tractor wagon rides and ice cream cones filled with feed for the animals.

Mill Creek MetroParks event merchandise, food and beverages will be available for purchase. There is free on-site parking with additional parking across the street at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The barns at the MetroParks Farm currently are open for the season from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Extended hours until 5 p.m. will start in June and run through October. For more information, go to www.millcreekmetroparks.org.
