31st Annual Farm Animal Frolic
Quiet Valley’s 31st annual Farm Animal Frolic is May 18, 19 and May 25, 26, Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm, and Sundays noon to 4 pm.
To folks in the 21st century springtime means warmer weather, flowers blooming and the return of robins.
In the early 1800s it meant fresh greens became available, a real treat after a bland winter diet. The kitchen garden was planted with such things as peas, onions, beets and carrots. Chickens started laying eggs again and it was also when the animals on the homestead had their babies. At Farm Animal Frolic we celebrate the renewal of life that comes with the season of spring.
Meet the baby farm animals up close and personal. See kid goats and lambs frolicking about. If you’ve ever wonder where the saying “two shakes of a lamb’s tail” came from you can see the reason for yourself. Chicks will be peeping away and some will be hatching in incubators so visitors can watch them crack out of their shells. There will be a new calf for the children to meet and guests of all ages will laugh at the ducklings as they play in the water.
Twice a day there is a special children's show where youngsters can enjoy puppet shows or storytelling. There are opportunities to play old fashion games, jump in the hay or try the Fish Pond.
Kathy Uhler, from the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will present a show on local wildlife on Saturday May 18th at 12:30 and 2:00. New at Frolic this year is the U.S. Detachment of Engineers Civil War re-enactors who will talk about map making on May 18th and 19th.
Admission is $8.00 for Adults and $5.00 for ages 3 thru 12. Children under 3 years of age are free. Pony Rides and Horse-drawn Wagon Rides are an additional charge and are weather permitting. Refreshments are available. No Smoking or Pets. Frolic is held Rain or Shine. The schedule and prices are subject to change.
All funds raised go to support the mission of the non-profit farm museum.

She has over 7 years experience competing nationally and internationally at the FEI levels representing the US and Region 1 at NAJYRC, Festival of Champions, GAIGs, CBLMs, and Dressage at Devon.

Riders learning with her not only learn how to correctly execute each movement as you go up the levels, but also learn problem-solving skills when working on their own.
