Every year, in observance of agriculture, spring and new beginnings, Boundary County Farm Bureau seeks the first baby of spring, and this year is extraordinarily special. Promotion and Education Chair Cassie Olson put out an announcement searching for the first baby of spring and received a handful of names of mothers expecting around March 20, the first day of spring. All but two of the mothers had their babies before March 20.

With two babies still waiting to be born, Cassie was waiting to see which one came first when news broke ... and then broke again! In all the years of searching for the first baby of spring, never before has this happened ... both babies were born on the same day, April 2, and a smidge over three hours apart.

Because this had not happened before, both babies and their families received a beautiful basket full of goodies to celebrate their arrivals!
