What an amazing day to ShineOnCass! We had over 160 kids in their PJs welcoming a dozen new baby animals (also in their jammies) as they learned the workings of a real farm, with egg fetching, braiding lambs wool, milking cows, and Goat Yoga! Thanks to our generous attendees, we collected a truckload of pet supplies and over $700 in donations made in memory of Cassidy Charette to the Humane Society Waterville Area! Thank you!
