Get Creative and Snuggle Goats
Advertisement
Come join us for a relaxing, fun art event. We will have several art stations set up and you can take your pick, or even flutter like a butterfly to more than one :)
There will be nature and animal themed ceramic painting, a watercolor painting area, some cute and easy cross-stitch keychains, and a peaceful zone for writing poetry.
Use this as your excuse to take some me time and get creative or bring a friend or family member and have a fun unique experience!
We will take a break in the middle so that our goats and sheep will help you further relax and smile with snuggles and cuddles. They may even lay in your lap!

Ages: Recommended 5+
