Westbrook, Maine Farm Holding 'Kiss a Goat of Kiss My A–” Valentine's Event
How would you like to show your love for that special someone by giving them a picture of you kissing a goat for Valentine’s Day, since they are the Greatest of All Time? Or show that former special someone what a jerk they are by giving them a picture of you kissing an ass?

Smiling Hill Farms in Westbrook is holding a “Kiss My Goat or Kiss My A–” Valentine’s event on Sunday, February 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Two miniature donkeys named Mr. Pickles and Dill will be there for you to take photos with as well as goats. You make the choice. Pictures with the goats because your Valentine is the Greatest Of All Time, or with the donkeys because that former Valentine is…well….you know. The goats who will pose for pictures will be selected the day of the event so we don’t know their names yet. Maybe it will be Lillebelle.
Smiling Hill Farms wants every to know this is just for fun. Kiss my a– is a pun for their miniature donkeys and is not meant to be offensive. This is a fun event that lets you enjoy the animals who are ready to be hugged, kissed, or pose for selfies.
The event is free but donations are encouraged and appreciated. Make sure you dress warm and don’t mind smelling like a farm animal when it’s time to go home. It’s a rain-or-shine event but be prepared to wait outside if the lines are long.
After you have your picture, grab some ice cream or lunch at the ice cream barn from 10 to 6 with lunch served from 11 to 3. Get more info at Smiling Hill Farm’s Facebook page.

Mother’s Day brings boom in flower sales across Maine
It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without a stop at the florist.
According to Fox Business, about 154 million flowers are sold during the week of Mother’s Day. So it’s safe to say it was a busy day for stores like Estabrook’s Maine Garden Center and Nursery.
Plenty of families stopped by to pick out flowers on Sunday, looking to choose the perfect bouquet for their moms.
“I think Mother’s Day is tradition, you know, and so it’s great to see families here. We have a lot of new families that have come today for the first time with their young children and their mother. Watching the young kids and seeing how excited they are—their eyes light up at all the beautiful flowers,” Tom Estabrook, president of Estabrook’s, said.
Estabrook says Mother’s Day tends to be a great kickoff to the spring season.
