FALLS TOWNSHIP, WYOMING COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Children in Wyoming County got the chance to see some farm animals and help out a good cause on Tuesday.
Indraloka Farms in Falls Township has rescued around 200 farm animals, ranging from cows and pigs to chickens and sheep.
Children got the opportunity to feed and read bedtime stories to the animals, as well as give them snacks.

Admission to the event helps raise funding for the non-profit.
Bedtime in the Barns is part of Giving Tuesday, a day founded to help non-profits with operating costs such as food, electricity, and services.
"It's an unusual experience, usually by this time of day things are calming down and everyone is settling in and when it's cold like this, in the sun, goes to bed earlier animals go to bed earlier too, so it's an opportunity to come and sort of snuggle everyone up under a big pile of hay, give him a few bedtime snacks, and sing a lullaby," Indraloka Farms Director of Development Robin Olson said.
Indraloka Farms has been in operation for 20 years and is a sanctuary and healing center aimed at helping both humans and animals.
