It's a chance for Aurora families to head to the farm without ever having to leave the city. Our Plains Conservation Center now features everything from a miniature horse and donkey to goats and alpacas. You can visit them for free throughout the summer and fall. Also on this week's show, find out how you can take part in Aurora's "Party for Pollinators." It's another fun and free event for the whole family - we have a preview; hear the compelling story of an Aurora police officer who came to the U.S. from Vietnam; and travel to Nepal courtesy of the newest "Mosaic of Cultures" exhibit at our Aurora History Museum. Those stories and much more this week on Aurora Now.
