Hoos' Gow Day

Hoos'gow  Day is a San Juan tradition! Bringing a taste of the Wild, Wild, West back to San Juan Capistrano. The 'Sheriff' and the 'Deputies' of the Fiesta Association are dressed in their traditional black and white western garb while they roam the town in search of city slickers. If you're not wearing western wear, watch out! You might just be roped into the fun! The Deputies will 'arrest' anyone not dressed in western attire (and some who are, but just look like they need time in the Hoosegow), or any man who is clean-shaven.
