Korie, I used to live in the Hemet area, and they had a "Ramona Days Festival" every year. I was in junior high and high school, at the time. At my mom's work, they'd dress up in the traditional fashions of that time period.
Not too long ago, when I was cleaning out my mom's house for her, I found the poncho she used to wear. She made one that was all girly colors LOL. Pinks and yellow and such. When it cools down I was going to take it to her and see if she remembered it.
I barely remember the story. Maybe I'll get the book, and my daughter and I can read it as a homeschooling project
