Local farm invites families to enjoy spring

Northridge families on the hunt for some Easter fun may find an area farm is the perfect solution next month.

A day of springtime activities is on the way to Gilchrist Farm, with plenty of excitement on offer for kids and adults alike. The various attractions can be paid for on their own, and all-inclusive wristbands are available as well.

Guests at the celebration will be able to meet a variety of baby animals such as piglets, goat kids, and chicks. Both the Easter Bunny and a real bunny will be on hand as well, so the attendees can learn more about rabbits. There will be egg hunts grouped by age, as this will give each child a chance to discover some of the hidden treats. Pony and horseback rides can be purchased, the site's giant slide and miniature train will be open, and everyone can try their hand at the axe throwing and archery stations.

Springtime functions often call for decor that is as fresh as the season. This can be sourced from an area poster printing company, along with marketing materials and other important supplies.

This welcome to the arrival of spring will be held on weekends from April 2 to April 16. The farm can be found at 30116 Bouquet Canyon Road in Santa Clarita.
