One of northern Utah's most popular events, Baby Animal Days, will take place at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville, Cache County, Thursday-Saturday.

The festival highlights the coming of spring and the baby animals both small and tall, that come with it.

The special guest this year will be Mark Walton, Disney animator and the voice of Rhino the Hamster in the recent movie "Bolt." He will be signing autographs and posters, chatting with fans and giving workshops on drawing and animating animals.

Other activities include pony rides, the Easter Bunny, wagon rides, living history demonstrations, animal shows, Turtle Town and more.

In addition to farm animals and their babies, there will also be some exotic animals, such as giant scorpions, millipedes and reptiles from around the world.

The Li'l Buckaroo Rodeo will be returning with stick pony barrel racing, mutton bustin' and a greased pole. Puppet diva Susan Neidert will also present shows throughout the day.

Activities take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If you can't make Baby Animal Days, Animals Only Days will take place April 18 and 25, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. There will be no festival activities, but there will be plenty of animals to snuggle with at a reduced price.
