After a Year Off, Animal Fair Returns

After a year’s absence, the Hart Park Animal Fair will return next Sunday, with more than 10,000 people expected to attend the daylong event, organizers said.

Visitors will get a chance to enjoy pony rides, games for children, live entertainment, visit a petting zoo and eat plenty of food, said spokeswoman Juanita Heinly. The event is sponsored by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. Admission is free with a minimal charge on some activities and rides, officials said.

The event could not be held last year because of construction at William S. Hart County Park, Heinly said.

The fair will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the park, 24151 N. San Fernando Road, in Newhall. For more information, call the county’s Department of Parks and Recreation at (661) 269-1750.
