Los Gatos has a hidden treasure, but not so hidden for long thanks to National Alpaca Farm Day and Artsopolis. The Ocean View Ranch (note this is NOT where the above video was shot) is hosting their Alpaca Open House tihs weekend! What you might ask does that have to do with the arts!? Oh don’t get me started! TOO LATE! If the blankets, scarves, and sweaters woven from the alpaca fur isn’t enough, there are a variety of other fiber art items that will be for sale in the shop. Don’t miss the yarn spinning demo and knitting lessons too. Have some refreshments, let the kids do some coloring in their Alpaca coloring books, get some fresh air and enjoy a day of alpacamania. In addition to alpacas, the ranch also breeds and raises Great Pyrenees dogs and Basset Hounds, and it just so happens they have a 4 week old litter that you can play with. Sounds like a pretty outstanding way to spend the weekend to me! And THAT’S, the pick!
