P.S. Also, if you are looking for something to do this Saturday, May 12th, you may want to consider attending the Farm Tour at Billy's Goat Hill, a sustainable family farm in Westminster, SC (130 Timber Trail). The tour itself begins at 10:30 a.m.; a BBQ lunch will be available for purchase for $6.50. See the baby goats, baby chicks and baby bunnies, the honey bee observation hive, learn about raise bed gardening and integrated pest management, see Billy's red wiggler compost worms, and mingle with the free range chickens and heritage turkeys. Kids will be entertained with storytelling and a craft table! Conclude your time at the farm with a visit to the Farm Store. All of this and more for just $5 for adults and $2 for kids. Call Gaylene at 864-710-3703 for more information and directions.
