Circle V Ranch booth is a hit at Kids Expo in Santa Barbara

Fun was had by hundreds of families at the Circle V Ranch Camp booth last Saturday at the Kids Expo in Santa Barbara (La Cumbre Plaza). Besides handing out flyers about the upcoming summer camp season, a popular activity was held at the booth - making pine cone bird feeders just like campers do at Circle V Ranch Camp. The activity was a huge hit for not only the children, but for the parents and grandparents.

For more information about attending Circle V Ranch Camp this summer, please call 323-224-6213 or 805-688-5252.

Hettie Lynn Hurtes (KPCC Radio): "As for what I’ve been doing these tough economic times, well, for one, trips to the salon are rare replaced by more frequent trips to St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop in Lincoln Heights. It’s amazing what you can find!"
