History will come to life at the old Saint Rose of Lima Church with a performance by Father Serra recreating the Mission Era in Simi Valley. Another humorous demonstration strips away the mystery of all those layers of women’s clothing during Victorian times.
Throughout the day there will be ongoing activities, displays and demonstrations to engage men, women and children: California Vaquero and his horse, Señora, will demonstrate coordinated routines, Blacksmith horseshoeing, amateur radio demonstrations, vendors and a kid’s craft corner will provide hands-on projects.
Food will be available for purchase from the Kiwanis ChucK Wagon and Tutu’s Shave Ice.
All performances and activities are included in the entrance price of $7 for anyone over age 5. Entrance is free to our active military and dependents with military ID.
