Celebrate Kids’ Farm, sponsored by State Farm®, throughout the month of April with special activities and events. Every day, we’ll have special animal encounters, keeper talks, and demonstrations. Plus, an exclusive Farm giveaway from State Farm® for children every weekend in April! Last spring we announced that budget cuts would require closing the Kids’ Farm. The outpouring of support from our community was unprecedented. State Farm®, our generous “good neighbor,” agreed to fund the Kids’ Farm for the next five years. Together, we will commemorate this wonderful donation and our beloved Farm! |
