Lambs Farm gets groovy with ’60s theme celebration

Hearken back to this defining decade with Lambs Farm’s 50th anniversary community celebration, “Celebrating the ’60s: Peace, Love and Lambs.”

Bring your blankets and chairs for a full day of music, activities, food and fun from 2 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20. Lambs Farm is at 14245 W. Rockland Road, Libertyville.

What’s a ’60s celebration without groovy tunes? You’ll be “All Shook Up” when Travis Morris takes the stage as the King himself, Elvis Presley. And don’t forget to “Twist and Shout” when the Beatles tribute band American English performs as the headline act at 7 p.m.

Additional bands and a DJ will also provide music throughout the event.

Although children will not remember the ’60s, they can get into the fun as well. There will be a giant inflatable and other fun activities. Ben the Bubble Guy will create giant bubbles during the day, and Harvey the Wonder Dog, star of books such as “Harvey’s Hungry Adventure,” will be on hand for book readings and meet and greets.

The farmyard, carousel and mini golf course will be open late, so don’t miss this opportunity to visit with the llamas and sheep as the sun goes down. Food will also be available for purchase.

Tickets are $8 through Friday, Aug. 12; $10 at the gate; and free for kids ages 12 and younger. To purchase tickets, call (847) 990-3775. For more information, visit www.lambsfarm.org.
