The September 19, 1987 Moorpark Country Days was a very
safe and successful event this year. The police estimate
of the crowd was 7,000 at about I:00pm. There were minor
incidents of drinking of alcoholic beverage in public, a
violation of the city ordinance. All contacts with
violators were without incident. Several lost children
were returned to their parents. A horse was hit by a truck
crossing Spring Road and suffered a laceration that was
treated by a veterinarian and released. A girl was
slightly injured in the bed race, receiving a laceration
to a finger.
The street dance was well attended. There were incidents
of consumption of alcohol by some attending the dance. The
dance was peaceful with only occasional problems with
individuals and others gathering outside the dance area
creating a disturbance. Additional deputies were brought
in between 8:30 and 9:30. After 9:30, the dance was
without incident. One subject outside the dance was
arrested.
The Moose Lodge Horseshoe Tournament drew approximately 500
people. The crowd was orderly and the event ended at
7:30pm. Four uniformed security officers were required by
the Sheriff's Department which eliminated a repeat of last
years incidents of fighting. A site evaluation at about
6:00pm indicated the location was not large enough to
accomodate the size of crowd and the parking congestion
caused on Highway 118/Los Angeles Avenue. A limit to the
numbers on people allowed on the premises will be worked
out for next year.

Moorpark Country Days continues to grow each year. This
year the event was very successful with only a few police
problems in relation to the size of the crowds for all the
events. A true family atmosphere is present and is the
primary reason for the crowds safe and orderly conduct. We
look forward to next year's Moorpark Country Days.
