This Sunday: The Flea Market @ Wonder Dog Ranch Returns!

On Sunday, April 27, 2014, we will be celebrating the early opening of Myrtle Ave and Duarte Road at The Flea Market @ Wonder Dog Ranch, from 8am to 2pm.  With the sponsorship of the Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority, the folks at the Ranch want you to discover how easy and smooth it is to go over the tracks at Myrtle Ave and Duarte Rd and head right down to the Ranch.  The Flea Market is designed to bring together our Station Square community of businesses and allow customers and residents to learn more about the Foothill Extension of our Metro Gold Line, and to learn from the City all about the Station Square development plans.

This unique shopping experience on  “the other side of the tracks” is a “not for dogs only” event, but, of course, at the Ranch, we never forget about the dogs.   “We’re lucky to have the Pasadena Humane Society mobile van at our market this month; of course, since this is a not-for-dogs-only event, we will be sharing a lot of community information as well as offering services and items for sale from great vendors, local businesses and organizations - things like estate sale treasures, vintage items, collectibles, artisanal crafts - but at this market you’ll even be able to learn how to best shop for a dog - adopt!” said Ernie Dods, the CBO of Wonder Dog Ranch.

The Flea Market will be easy to find in the parking lot of Wonder Dog Ranch - Dog Day Care & Boarding located at 220 Taylor Street, just two blocks south of Duarte Road on the east side of the 2000 block of S. Myrtle.  From the 210 freeway, just head south on Myrtle Avenue and admire the great new paving, striping and smooth crossing over the new Gold Line tracks.  Once through the Duarte Road intersection, just go two more blocks south and turn left on Taylor Street; Wonder Dog Ranch is the first building on the right.

Customers are welcome to bring dogs to the Market, but please be sure to have all pooches under strict control on a short leash.  Dogs will not be allowed inside Wonder Dog Ranch unless they are already enrolled like the regular customers who may be inside, but tours of our cage-free dog day care and boarding operation will be offered to their people periodically throughout the day.

A portion of the proceeds of this event will benefit the Foothill Unity Center Pet Food Bank (http://foothillunitycenter.org/pet-food-bank/).
