A long time ago on the border of England and Scotland, sat the Village of Lamont. The village was buzzing with activity as the residents anxiously awaited the annual visit from their beloved Queen, Mary Queen of Scots. Merchants were busy putting out their finest wares, tavern owners and restaurateurs prepared their finest food and drink. The village was bright with banners and all measure of decorations. Bold Knights prepared to compete for the Queen's favor in the jousting tournament. Entertainers and travelers from throughout the countryside came to the village to await their chance to entertain the Queen and those who attended. Then a wondrous thing occurred, time stood still. Now it is the year of our lord 2005 and for two days each year, now, the first weekend in May, the Village of Lamont, reappears in Anderson, California, just as bright and festive as it was in 1562. The Queen visits and the merriment continues as Knights joust, jesters jest, merchants hawk their wares and even a fire breathing dragon visits the Shire. Come join us as we travel back to that magical time of chivalry and honor. |
