Sunshine is the word this weekend and there’s something for everyone to do that’s fun and mostly free this weekend in northeast Ohio. There’s a barnyard hoedown at Hartzler Family Dairy in Wooster, complete with milk chugging; Wish Farmer Joe’s barnyard animals a Happy Birthday at Nickajack Farms, visit the IX Indoor Amusement Park or partake in Earth Day events, like the free family fishing derby at Buffalo Creek Retreat, along with kite flying, kids activities, crafts and more.
There’s also a Party for the Planet event at the Akron Zoo. Posting recycling or Earth-friendly tips on social media using #GoingGreenForAkronZoo. Sharing your tip at the ticket counter this weekend will get you half off one admission ticket.
