Holiday Lamplight Tours
December 4, 2010

During Clock Tower Holidays, the historic homes are beautifully decorated in seasonal splendor. On the special night of Holiday Lamplight Tours, visitors take a ride on a horse-drawn wagon and see the soft glow of lanterns throughout the village. Costumed villagers welcome visitors to the homes and business, and take visitors back to a simpler era when family and friends gathered together to celebrate this special time of year. In the Bandstand Green, local entertainers provide a magnificent array of holiday music for your enjoyment. There will also be organ music in St. John’s Episcopal Mission, a hand-bell choir at the Woody General Store, and piano music in the Howell House. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children; members price $5 for adults and $3 for children. Advanced sale tickets are available, and group rates for 20 or more can also be arranged in advance. Refreshments and carriage rides are an additional fee.

Tis the pirate season!

Ojai Pirate Faire is here! Ojai pirate faire 2010, we'll be setting up camp with our friends Alliance of the double cross and spending the weekend drinking rum and stealing, plundering and looting whatever we so desire. If you want to find us at the faire, we are down at the waters edge at "Blackbeards landing" just look for the double cross flag or our flag which is of course the hourglass flying over bones! Or just look for buckle shoes and thats us.

Also ahead is The Kern County Museum Safe Halloween 2010. This event is our favorite and we will be in full force. Execution Docks, The Thames river and of course our whole pirate encampment will be open for everyone to dare to stroll through. You can visit the Kern County Museum for more details and where and how to purchase tickets to this annual event where our Pioneer village is turned into a magical Halloween town. It's safe, educational and it's the longest running Halloween event in Bakersfield. Now if they would just let us blow off our cannons!
