Visitors to West Place Animal Sanctuary can meet Alfie the baby emu during Spring Visitors Weekend. It’s the sanctuary’s first public event of the year and the first opportunity to meet Alfie. He’s cute, he’s hilarious, and he won’t be a baby for much longer. The sanctuary is also unveiling a brand-new electric vehicle for special driving tours of the sanctuary, which can accommodate five guests and makes the sanctuary fully accessible to those who cannot participate in a walking tour. And, dedicated sanctuary volunteers will receive Presidential Volunteer Service Awards, a national community service award issued through Points of Light and managed by AmeriCorps. There will also be a spring plant sale, and interactive and educational guided tours every half hour. Advance registration is highly recommended.
