The city of Ontario puts this on every year and it has been on my list of things to do for at least 10 years. Every year by the time I see it advertised we already have something going on that day. This time I got smart and put a reminder on our calendar 2 months ahead of time to search for it. Each year they pick a half dozen people interred here and spend almost a year researching them. Then they get people to play the part.

The result is a wonderful story of history of the area. We enjoyed it so much we plan to go again. This year they had people from Joey Dippolito of the Italian Mafia of Los Angeles to a woman who flew the test flights of planes for WWII before they were delivered to the military. They had a man playing Antonio Signorio who along with Guasti started the winery in Ontario CA.
