Ramona Comes Home Again
Performances by more than 30 actors and dancers from the world famous Hemet Ramona Outdoor Play will highlight the second annual “Ramona Days” - October 4, 10AM-4PM at Rancho Camulos Museum National Historic Landmark, Piru, CA. Helen Hunt Jackson’s 1884 classic California novel, Ramona, will come to life at the “Home of Ramona” as we celebrate all things Ramona. In addition to seeing vignettes from the play, visitors can watch the 1910 Mary Pickford movie filmed on location at Camulos, view unique memorabilia and historic displays, experience living history and attend presentations by Ramona experts such as “Ramona Memories “ author Dydia DeLyser, Ramona pageant historian Phil Brigandi, and film maker Hugh Munro Neely. There will also be food, music by The Restless Hillfillies, dances by the Groupo Folklorico Tecalitlan, art and craft sales and demonstrations, museum and garden tours, free children’s activities and more.
