Despite rainy skies, families were undeterred when heading to Montrose for its annual Kids ’n’ Kritters event, a free event presented by the Montrose Shopping Park Assn. from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Rainy skies did not deter folks from coming out to the Kids ’n’ Kritters event in Montrose.

The event featured animals, both exotic and domestic, various first responders including representatives from the California Highway Patrol, Glendale Police Dept., the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Dept., Montrose Search And Rescue and firefighters from Glendale Fire Dept. were highlighted. A Kids Fun Zone featured inflatable slides and bungee jump for kids and a performance was given by members of Revolution Dance Center.
