KITCHENER -- Brant County OPP say they’ve made arrests in connection to a fire that destroyed a family farm nearly two years after the incident.
On June 5, 2019, firefighters were called to Colton’s Fun Farm on Jerseyville Road.
Officials confirmed that the barn and attractions burned down around 4:30 a.m. and four pygmy goats were killed.
The family farm is named after the owner’s late son Colton, with some of the proceeds going to helping children battling cancer.
At the time, the fire was considered suspicious.
