Deanna Rose Farmstead Baby Goat Blanket Drive

Our friends at Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead recently announced they are seeking donations of used, but clean, blankets and towels for their new baby goats who will call the Farmstead home this winter. 

Blankets may be delivered now through mid-February at the East Entrance at the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead which is located at 13800 Switzer (South of 135th St. & Switzer) in Overland Park, Kansas.  Signage for the drop-off site will be visible from the East Parking lot.

This is a great service project to engage your children in to help them take part in ensuring these tiny loveable animals stay warm!  As always, the Farmstead will reopen for its 2012 season on April 1, 2012.
