The threat of rain didn’t stop the fun of celebrating turning 3 today at a home Birthday 🥳 celebration in Wendell. The big garage was the perfect place to meet and hold 🐇bunnies , guinea pigs and a sweet little sheep named MAGGIE. 🐑And the rain held off!🙂 Read more about Farmer Mary’s Mobile Petting Zoo at winterpast.org.
🐇Farmer Mary and the Farmers Daughter are just getting back to Winterpast Farm and unloading all the animals. Wonder what MAGGIE will tell her Mother about the fun!
