Fort Wayne, Ind—Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation announces five additions to its historic Salomon Farm Park. Two Highland mini calves and three Nigerian dwarf kid goats join the thriving goats, pigs, miniature horse, rabbits and chickens which make their home at this beautiful landmark working farm and park.
