Family Pet Expo- OC Fairgrounds

My kiddos are absolutely bonkers about dogs. They practically beg me to stop the car every time they see a cute one down the street. I’m sure many of you can totally relate. If your family loves furry creatures just as much as mine does- make sure to check out America’s Family Pet Expo at the Orange County Fairgrounds.
We visited the year before last and had a great time. We loved taking in the different demonstrations- they had everything ranging from agility competitions to a dog fashion show. We loved it all – from the shows and exhibits to a fantastic adoption drive. Our family had a super good time and I bet yours will too. Pets are often very fussy, so finding the right dog food for your pet can be a challenge.
America’s Family Expo will run this upcoming weekend- April 17th-19th at the OC Fairgrounds
Show Prices are as follows:
General Admission – $12.00
Seniors 60 & over – $10.00
