Walt
and Paula joined the festivities on Sunday between 11-3, playing and singing songs
of the 1800s. Many visitors sang along, surprised at how many of these songs they
knew!
What
happens at the Rendevous?
More
than 25 living historical encampments are set up, giving you a chance to meet
cowboys, buckaroos, mountain men and women demonstrating what it was like to live
in the turn-of-the-century and Civil War eras. The historical fair brings these
eras to life with the smell of campfires, and the sounds of civil war era cannons,
steam train whistles, and scattered shots from mock gun-fights. Experience period
costumes, crafts, tomahawk throwing lessons, and much more. For more information
on the Rendezvous in Poway, please contact (858) 668-4576.
