| INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION Fort Tejon Sate Historic Park, July 4th, 2009 On July 4th, 2009, over two dozen volunteers at Fort Tejon State Historic Park helped to recreate an old fashioned Independence Day celebration at the old army post circa 1858. Volunteers representing Dragoons and civilians celebrated in high style with many guests to the park with plenty of games such as tug of war, egg toss, sack races, pie eating contest and even an 1800's baseball game. Each state in the Union was honored with a canon shot and there was even rumor of a Faro dealer teaching games of chance to the unsuspecting, er, I mean interested parties. A grand time was had by all! Click on any picture for a larger version! Pictures courtesy of Mary Johnson and Curtis Neil. |
