Illini FS Farmtown held a Farmtown Farm Day on Saturday, October 18th. Activities for the family were available throughout the day. The event was attended by over 200 people, 50 of whom were children.
“We wanted to make this a fun day where parents could bring their children to Farmtown and learn about some of the fun things about life on the farm,” said Paula Blakley, Farmtown manager.
A naturalist from the Anita Purvis Nature Center brought live screech owls and corn snakes for two presentations. The local chapter of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids presented a farm animal safety puppet show, and farm animals including baby chicks, miniature donkeys, and rabbits were on exhibit.
Children had the opportunity to paint a face on a free small pumpkin while adults attended a Make and Take fall pumpkin arrangement session. Pets were also welcome for the Loyal Pet Food Costume Social, and they received a special treat for arriving in cosutme.
