Mill Creek MetroParks hosts baby shower for farm animals
CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) — A baby shower for farm animals took place in Canfield Saturday.
Mill Creek MetroParks welcomed the community for their annual Farm Animal Baby Shower. Families were able to see the new arrivals at the MetroParks farm on Columbiana-Canfield Road. There were goats, piglets, cows, chicks and ducklings — along with some of the mother animals who are still expecting.
Attendees could also watch a sheep being sheared and learn about wool, as well as take a ride on the tractor wagon to tour the farm. The event aims to bring the community together every year.
The baby shower has been going on since the 90s.
'You know, it is really great. It's a nostalgic thing that we do and it really makes us very happy that we're able to provide this to the community and that it is so well loved that people come back year after year, and some people you know, have brought their kids here and now they're bringing their grandkids here. So it is been going on for so many years and we're so proud and privileged that we're able to bring this to the community,' said Metroparks Community Engagement Director Jaime Yohman.
If you would like to see the animals, the farm is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Starting in June, the barns will stay open until 5 p.m. through October.
