Spring Festival
Saturday & Sunday, April 27 & 28 from noon to 4 pm
Kensington Metropark Farm Center
Celebrate spring with a weekend of farm events for the whole family at the “Spring Festival,” to be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and April 28, from noon to 4 p.m. at Kensington Metropark Farm Center near Milford/Brighton.
Farm activities, entertainment and horse-drawn wagon rides will take you out of the city, back to the good ol’ days on the farm. Rosco the Clown will be on hand with balloon fun and giggles for all. Kelly Murningham and her border collie will be herding sheep, Deb Caryl will be shearing sheep, and the Spinners Flock will demonstrate wool spinning. Watch Char’s Kitchen present an old-fashioned cooking demonstration. Plus, check out the Kid’s Cottage, a remarkable house made of natural materials, watch antique tractor plowing and discover the world of bees with John Beemer.
Most events are free. Hayrides cost $5 per adult and $3 per child or senior citizen. For more information, call Kensington Metropark at 810-227-8910.
