Wags 'N' Whiskers Kids 'N' Kritters

On Sunday, May 6, 2012, the Montrose Shopping Park Association will present its 11th annual "Wags & Whiskers, Kids 'n Kritters Day."Created by the Montrose Merchants, "Kids 'n Kritters" is dedicated to activities of interest to children and families in the Crescenta Valley and the North Glendale Areas. "Wags & Whiskers," presented by co-sponsor The Glendale Humane Society, celebrates our four-legged friends with a walk-around pet parade, animal training demonstrations and an educational animal show in the Shopping Park. Anchoring the activities will be the popular Montrose Harvest Market, where more than 150,000 attendees visited in the last year to pick up fresh California Certified and organic produce, flowers, baked goods and specialty foods. Also featured is The Marketplace where visitors can meet dealers selling collectibles and hand-made items as well as artisans and public service booths.

In the "Kids' Korner" the Montrose Bounce Company will offer interactive attractions to entertain children and Critters-To-Go Hand-led Ponies will take children on a personal walking tour of the event area. A farm animal petting zoo allows children to enjoy gentle creatures up close, while Wild Wonders returns by popular demand with their "Exotic Petting Zoo," featuring a hands-on visit with many unusual creatures.

"Taste Of Montrose" offers a culinary exploration and a wonderful opportunity to get a small "taste" of the many fine participating Montrose restaurants. Tickets are $20. and all proceeds help to create "Prom Plus," a post-prom event for CV High School seniors and their guests. Prom Plus presents a fun yet safe alternative to unchaperoned after-prom parties at the Crescenta-Canada YMCA featuring a casino, mechanical bull, climbing wall, and more.
