Sun Sentinel Palm Beach Edition
‘PAW Patrol Live!,’ cow wash, and back-toschool events rule weekend.
PAW Patrol Live! lands on stage at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts this weekend. It’s also Ice Cream Science Weekend at the Museum of Discovery and Science, and it’s National Dance Day on Saturday, so the Frost Museum of Science and several libraries are having celebrations. Families can also check out a water park or one of South Florida’s new water challenges., or gear up for the most unusual event of the weekend: a cow wash. You read that right: a cow wash. Jupiter Creamery invites families to visit its working farm Sunday from 5 to 7 p.m. and wash, pet and feed a cow. You can also touch a pig and pet a chicken and talk to the farmer about how and where your food is grown and cared for. The event is free but donations of $10 per family are appreciated, and some farm products will be for sale, cash only. Jupiter Creamery is at 18591131st Trail North in Jupiter (jupitercreamery.com).
