Troddeling in Wonderland: Victorian Fair 2014

Fair ladies and gents strolled through the Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum in the City of Industry, CA, in Victorian clothing (April 26 & 27, 2014 to be exact).
No time travel required!
The event featured Victorian fashions and dance demonstrations & lessons of the Victorian era.
They also had the usual historical house tours.
The top floors were closed off for the event, but they are open during regular tours, so check it out the museum if you are ever in the City of Industry.
On Saturday, Karen Wade, director of the Homestead Museum did a storytelling of, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" for children and their families.
Before the storytelling, she gave a brief explanation of what the Victorian era was.
Around the premises, there were also gentlemen in Victorian bicycles... I'm still curious how they can keep their balance on that giant wheel.
There were also plenty of booths around the event as well, including one that taught about the language of
flowers, and how they were used to send a message to a person.
You know if you accepted the bouquet of flowers, it meant a positive message for the person giving you the flowers, while the left hand... well, it was a way of saying, "No thank you." or "I'm not interested."
But you still got to keep the bouquet.
Ouch!
Also, THE No.1 CURRYWURST Truck of Los Angeles , as well as Bakerytruck OC was there to serve up some delicious food, as well as a third food truck (that I wasn't able to try, sorry, guys).
By the way, found out you can customize your own Bakerytruck OC cream puff (I mixed peanut butter, Nutella, Raspberries, and bananas... give it a try, it's a good combination)
The Homestead Museum holds multiple events through the year, including a Roaring 20s fair in the fall (I'll try to review that as well), and the next event at the museum is Summer Picnicking, on May 10, call (626)968-8492 for more info on that event. I'll see if I can blog on that if reservations aren't filled up.
