Early Days in San Juan
This picture is from the internet story of our recent Early Days at the History Park.
I arrived at about eleven o clock. On the third Saturday of June (Fathers Day Weekend) the History Park has their Early Days. It last two days. This day it was a bright day and we did well at the "Saloon." Our best day of the year was around February, when a group from CSUMB and a tour bus both brought people to the Park, combined with a hot day, and we sold alot of soda.
This month we provided some hot "home made" bread and some apple dessert, which I got a little of both. We had a couple other people helping in the Saloon, so I got out for awhile.
This scene is from behind the Castro-Breen House. Its living history so these people are dresses in period clothing from around the Civil War "post-war" era. Personally, I dress for a person travelling out West after the war.
We had dancers, and a card player in the Saloon. There was a horse drawn wagon (which was for visitors for a fee) and refreshments sold outside. But was had a great assortment of soda inside the Saloon and did better than the people in a tent selling "out on the green."
