Animals to be blessed Sunday in Woodstock

The fifth annual Blessing of the Animals will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, 35 Van Wagner Rd. in Willow.

Here's an advance story from the Kingston Daily Freeman.

Each year WFAS celebrates World Farm Animals Day, St. Francis of Assisi Day, as well as Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday by hosting a Blessing of the Animals Celebration. This is the one day they welcome well-behaved companion animals like dogs, cats, bunnies or reptiles (on leashes or in carriers) to visit the home of over 200 rescued farm animals.

Environmentalist and wild wolf activist Elke Duerr will officiate and the Redwing Blackbird Theater will perform a puppet adaptation of "Peter and the Wolf."

Suggestion donation for admission is $10.
