Escape the Heat This Weekend

August 20, 2010

It is August and we are finally experiencing our hot summer weather. Fortunately we can always escape it and take a drive up into our beautiful mountains. This Saturday and Sunday you can visit Moonridge Animal Park and enjoy the sixth annual Native American Arts Festival.

Moonridge Animal Park is a wildlife animal sanctuary and rehabilitation center. It is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is worth a visit in itself.

However, this weekend you can sample dishes from a variety of food vendors. There will also be demonstrations of Native American arts and crafts. There will also be music, dancing and story telling. Children can also create arts and crafts.

There will be an Aztec group that will tell stories from Mexico, a contemporary flute player named Screaming Eagle.

Moonridge Animal Park; 43285 Goldmine Drive, Big Bear

Hours of the festival are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

There is a general admission charge of $9 @6 for children ages 3-10 and seniors 60 and older and children under 3 are free.
