Petting Zoo_Monrovia

While we are always searching for new locations to serve you, here’s a quick reminder that we have maintained a longstanding presence at two current markets.

Monrovia Street Fair

We have been a steady fixture at this San Gabriel Valley street fair for more than a year now. You can find our setup on the corner of Myrtle and Colorado, adjacent to the Wells Fargo.  What makes Monrovia unique is that the attractions are unlimited.  You can join us there for pony rides, camel rides and a full petting zoo.

The Market officially opens at 5:00 pm every Friday, and currently runs till 9:00 pm.  But you will find us open for business even earlier, as we are ready to go as soon as our setup is complete.

Surf City Nights

As the temperature dropped, we vacated this Huntington Beach street fair in December.  But we will be making a return on Tuesday, April 3rd, so beach-goers can once again enjoy our adorable petting zoo.

Our location within the fair has moved.  So if  you were used to finding us in from of the Post Office on the corner of Main and Olive, you can now find us across from Baskin Robbins. If you’re having any trouble finding our location, just follow your nose. I’m sure it will lead you right to us.

The Surf City Nights Street Fair runs from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm every Tuesday.   But just as it is in Monrovia, we are open for business as soon as the fences go up.

In case you can’t google fast enough to translate the title of this blog post, I’m here to assist you. The language is Hebrew, and the English translation is “Happy Purim Festival”. This Jewish holiday is celebrated late winter or early spring.  And for more than twenty years now, Giddy Up Ranch has been a major part of the celebration. 

For Giddy Up Ranch, Purim brings many visits to Jewish temples, schools and private homes across Southern California. The desired items may vary, though the festivities are all the same. Some will keep it simple with just a petting zoo, while others choose to wow their guests with camels and other exotics.

These photographs were taken at a Purim event for Valley Torah Girls High School in Sherman Oaks. And as you can see, it wasn’t only the students that dressed the part, so did our camels.

Nadia and Joe were the guests of honor, giving many of the girls their first opportunity to not only see a camel in the flesh, but to also ride one.  Facebook and Instagram are priorities in the teenage world.  And nothing draws more attention, and more likes, than the image of something out of the ordinary to go “one up” on your friends.

We’d like to thank Valley Torah High School for having us, and look forward to being part of this event again.

CHAG PURIM SAMEACH!
