Performances by the core cast and dancers from the world famous Hemet Ramona Outdoor Play will highlight the fifth annual “Ramona Days” - September 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rancho Camulos Museum National Historic Landmark in Piru. 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 (11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.), 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. Learn the art of flamenco with Linda “La Matadora” Andrade and her performers.
There will also be food, music, a used book sale, art and craft sales and demonstrations, original artwork by local artists, museum and garden tours, free children’s activities and more. Visitors are encouraged to come in costume and character for a fun experience. View the 2009 event filmed for Roger Martin’s Out and About series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UmGbXwCMao
