Farmer Boys Presents Loma Linda University Children’s Day Event

Loma Linda University’s 37th Annual Children’s Day event is coming up on March 9 and for the tenth year in a row, Farmer Boys is the major sponsor.

The event, which will take place 8:30am-2pm at the Loma Linda University Drayson Center (25040 Stewart St), is a community health fair aimed at providing young children (ages three to eight years old) with non-threatening exposure to a hospital setting. Local children and families are invited to participate in various hands-on learning activities designed to ease nervousness about being in a hospital. Activities will include a Teddy Bear Clinic, where kids can bring a doll or stuffed animal for a check-up; Fire Safety booth, where children will learn to extinguish a fire using water and fire balloons; Show & Tell with Dr. Bill Hayes, featuring an array of creatures like rattlesnakes, lizards, and much more.

Farmer Boys is also bringing the farm to the children’s health fair by cooking lunch for health fair volunteers and hosting an animal petting zoo where attendants can pet ducks, pygmy goats, guinea pigs, chickens, pot-belly pigs, tortoises, and rabbits.
