Awesome Pumpkin Patch w/Petting Zoo at Ventura & Woodlake
So cool! I was driving home from El Camino Real High School tonight and I came across another pumpkin patch! This one is absolutely huge and is at the corner of Woodlake and Ventura Blvd (23210 Ventura Blvd), right by the entrance/exit ramp to the 101 Freeway. I decided to go and check it out, especially when I saw a sign saying there was a petting zoo. I’m a sucker for petting zoos. I went inside, walked around a little, then a gentleman asked me if I needed any help. I explained I have a blog and I asked him a little bit about the place. They opened up on September 24th and are open daily from 9am to 9pm. They have just about everything you need for Halloween and pumpkin carving goodness.
I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I’ve never seen white pumpkins before, but they had plenty. They also let me go take a few pictures of the petting zoo to show you guys. It’s only $3.00 and they have a $5.00 option where you get feed the animals, too. It also looked like they might be construction something of a haunted house in the adjacent building, but I didn’t get a chance to ask about that – I’ll have to follow up on that tomorrow. They also have pony rides for the kids, and a few other attractions. The place is huge, so if you’re into pumpkin patches and petting zoos you must check it out!
Awesome! And honestly, this was one of the cleanest petting zoos I have ever seen. The animals all looked super clean and healthy, and there wasn’t any poop to be seen. Impressive! If you have any questions, give them a ring before stopping by at (818) 225-2496.

Dropped in to the El Camino Real Game Tonight, Score Was 30-18 at the Half
I haven’t been to a high school football game since 1995 when I was in high school myself, but I figured since I have been blogging a bit about it recently I’d drop in on the El Camino Real vs. Birmingham game tonight. It was a home game for ECR and the league opener, and despite Birmingham putting a decent amount of points on the board, ECR seemed pretty dominant.
When I got there the score was actually already 14 to 12 in Birmingham’s favor, but ECR quickly regained momentum and started scoring a bunch as Birmingham kept turning the ball over on downs giving the ball back to ECR with amazing field position – maybe they don’t have a punter, not sure what the story is on that.
I only stayed until halftime, I wanted to leave before being arrested for being too creepy. Will update tomorrow with the final score and articles I come across.

League Openers Tonight for Taft, El Camino Real
The City Section has several important league openers on Friday night, including Birmingham at El Camino Real in the West Valley League and Narbonne at San Pedro in the Marine League.
Birmingham lost all five of its nonleague games but gets back USC-bound running back Trajuan Briggs. El Camino Real won all five of its nonleague games and gets the chance to prove it can compete with Taft and Birmingham for the West Valley League championship.
Let’s be honest, you don’t go 0-5 because you are saving yourself for the league games. Birmingham obviously sucks. Taft (2-3) goes up against equally underachieving Granada Hills, who is also 2-3.
