A Big Success!
Over 200 Cherry Hills Village residents and neighboring friends gathered at the Farm under clear skies and sunshine to meet the visiting farm animals — chickens, goats, Maui the Turkey (on loan from Carol Breeze), the Ebel’s horses Aspen & Hope, and Oliver the Pig!
The barnyard was buzzing with families and friends and more strollers than you could count! Kids immersed themselves in fun activities—jumping on logs, digging in dirt, planting sunflowers, and interacting with the animals. A few visitors also got to check out the west side trail improvement.
