Soule: Celebrate Christmas With Rudolph The Red-Nosed Rein-Steer

Christmas on the Farm on December 17, 2022, from 11 am to 2 pm

Miles Smith Farm, 56 Whitehouse Rd, Loudon, NH

Farm animals are not tuned in to the sacred aspects of Christmas, but they do enjoy parties – like the upcoming 2022 Christmas on the Farm celebration. Santa is taking a break this year, so Rudolph the Red-Nosed Rein-Steer (a.k.a. Topper) will be joined by Mrs. Santa.

At this fun event, for the price of a carrot Curious Bleu, the riding steer, will once again let kids climb on his back and pose for photos. Eleanor the donkey, two sheep, and the goats will follow you around the barnyard begging for alfalfa cubes. Millie, the calf, looking for snuggles, will greet you, and, of course, Tazzy the mini-pig, will grunt and complain until she gets a belly rub. We might even have some newborn calves joining the party.

You can visit these sweethearts -- Topper and his buddies -- on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Christmas at the Farm hosted by the nonprofit Learning Networks Foundation. We'll have the fire pits roaring to help keep your feet and fingers warm and carrots and alfalfa cubes to feed the critters.

Sign up here. Space is limited.
