Last year, Lambs Farm raised more than $42,000 for our programs and services. With increased volunteer help, this year's event should be even more successful!  For more information on volunteering, or to register, please call Kathy McMeins at 847.990.3749, email kmcmeins@lambsfarm.org or register online at lambsfarm.org.
