Music, dance and dancing horses

History unfolds
Docents dressed in period clothing will offer tours of the park's historical buildings throughout the day. Weavers and blacksmiths will demonstrate their trades and intricate handmade quilts will be displayed throughout the buildings.
Visitors will be able to discover the original inhabitants of California with exhibits by local wildlife organizations. Even early Californian "Maria Grijalva Yorba," will be there to meet.
Admission is $3 for children 3 to 12 years old and $4 for adults. Lunch, for a small fee, will be provided by Hunter's Steakhouse, Boy Scouts of America, and Kettle Masters.
