Fairytales for kids hop into local parks

"The Hare & The Tortoise" will race to a nearby park in June as the Gypsies in a Trunk continue the 12th season of free Fairytales in the Park.

Wacky hosts Biff and Carl give a play-by-play of the classical animal tale as the creatures race their way to a lesson on life and respect.

Performances are:

4 p.m. Sat., June 3 at the Rancho Simi Bicentennial Amphitheater in Rancho Simi Park at the corner of Erringer and Royal, Simi Valley.

11:30 a.m. Sat., June 10 behind the Community Recreation Center at 1605 E. Burnley St., Camarillo.

All performances are outdoors and ample seating is available on the ground. Guests bring blankets, lunch or snacks but no pets. Performances are free but donations will be accepted.
