MaybellMarigoldWEB.jpgtripletsMaeveWeb.jpgDo you really need 20 reasons to come to Sheep-to-Shawl at Philipsburg Manor this weekend? Well, we've got them. Specifically, 19 newborn lambs - including a set of rare triplets! - and a baby calf named Marigold.

The triplets and Marigold (and mother cow Maebell) are on display in these wonderful images taken by Maeve Montalvo, a farmer at Philipsburg Manor.

I'm pretty sure the triplets don't yet have names. Any suggestions?

Sheep-to-Shawl takes place Saturday and Sunday from 10-6. Click here for a schedule of events.

Oh, and shhhhh, don't tell anyone, BUT, if you use the promo code BAA when you buy tickets online, you'll get $3 off kids' tickets. That's a 50% savings. That's a recession buster, buster.
