| The
25th Annual Farm Animal Frolic

May 18, 19 and May 25, 26
Saturdays 10:00 - 4:00 and Sundays 12:00 - 4:00
This is our first fundraising event of the year. For many volunteers
and members it is their first chance of the year to get out to the
farm. There will be a return of the duckling slide and the Poultry
Pavilion. For 2013, in celebration of Quiet Valley’s 50th Anniversary,
we will have a new animal game. Helping at Frolic is a great opportunity
to see the farm in spring which is such a lovely season. It’s also
a chance to catch up with everybody on the latest goings-on in your
lives. Best of all, while you are helping a special place like Quiet
Valley, you get to see all those adorable baby farm animals. What
more could you ask?!
Save the dates on your calendar. We can still use some help. Please
call Darlene Repsher (570-421-1634) to volunteer.

Calling all bakers...
NOW is the time to make those desserts for Farm Animal Frolic.
Take some time now to make your favorite fattening goodie and then
just bring it out to the farm for Frolic. Bring your desserts to
the farm Education Center on Friday before each weekend OR bring
them with you directly to the food tent when you come to volunteer.
Remember: NO HEALTHY DESSERTS, they don’t sell! Bring your most
fattening pies, cakes, brownies, whoopie pies, cupcakes, and any
other goodies you can think of. Our visitors love our homemade desserts,
made with love & care by you. Thanks for all of your
help.
