**Please Do Not Bring Your Pets***
Enthusiasts of all creatures great and small will unite at the America’s
Family Pet Expo (AFPE), returning to the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa
Mesa, April 10th – 12th.
Marking its 26th year, the AFPE
joins cats, dogs, miniature horses, birds, and exotic reptiles, together in this unique event giving show
guests the opportunity to experience furry, feathered and scaled friends in a
variety of different ways.
AFPE kindly
reminds guests that the event is for humans only, pets are not allowed at the
Expo, but there are plenty of interactive exhibits, educational shows and
demonstrations, as well as the latest in pet trends and products for sale, so
your pets won’t need to feel left out. Tickets are on sale now at www.PetExpoOC.org.
New to the Expo,
is the Purina Pro-Plan Performance Team,
a high energy dog agility show that will surely be an audience favorite! Splash Dogs take to
the dock, offering a wet-and-wild
canine competition, and the ever popular
Human Hamster Wheel water attraction will have you running in circles.
Debuting at the 2015 Expo is “Cook’s Racing Hogs & Dogs,” a race
that consists of four pigs, which run from one end of a 90-foot U-shaped track
to the other. Four dogs then compete in
a similar race. Waiting at the end of
the track is a treat - vanilla ice cream and a golden Oreo cookie! There is also lots of audience participation
with this event, so get ready for some mud-slinging and fur flying fun!
Also returning
are the Police Dog & Protection
Demonstrations, crime fighting dogs in action showing how they serve and
protect our community. And don’t miss
the Free Flight Bird Show where magnificent
birds spread their wings and take flight.
Kids can get in
on the action by designing and creating a 10-gallon aquarium in the Kids Aquarium Contest. There will also be pony rides, face
paintings, and The Great American
Petting Zoo for the whole family to enjoy.
If adventure calls, be sure to check out the Eurobungy Trampoline brought to you by West Coast Bungy.
Pet Adoptions will be handled on site for those looking for
that “purrfect” animal addition to the family.
There will be hundreds of animals hoping to find their forever home from
local community partner organizations at the Expo. Last year posted a record of
more than 700 adoptions, Expo organizers hope to set a new record for 2015.
