Easter at the Animal Farm - March 28th
On Sunday, March 14th, bring the family and visit the Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm.
Make sure you mark your calendars now for the annual Easter on the Farm event. This year it will be held on Sunday, March 28th, from 1pm to 3pm. There will be an egg hunt for the children, face painting, coloring, music by the HOB band, the Masonic Lodge Child ID program, and the Easter bunny will stop by for photos. This year, we have a professional photographer who is donating his services for the event.
The farm is a terrific family activity that is FREE OF CHARGE. Donations are, of course, greatly appreciated because they help keep the animal’s habitats in good repair and help pay for food and upkeep at the farm.
The farm has about 250 animals of all kinds and is truly a wonderful place for children and adults alike. The farm is open second and fourth Sundays of every month. Groups may schedule special trips by contacting Farmer Selander at 305-293-7300. The farm is located underneath the Monroe County Detention Center, off of College Road on Stock Island.
Everyone is welcome to attend! This event is free of charge, and donations are appreciated!
