The Spanish conquistadors were looking for the "fabled lands of
gold" in their conquest of North America. The fable is kept
alive here with the annual coronation of the King and Queen
of the Kingdom of Quivira and the Seven Cities of Cibola,
targets of the long gone Spanish. It is the social event of
the Autumn season. The King is always an outstanding gentleman
of local worth, financially, business wise or some social virtue.
His queen is the daughter of another outstanding family. The
Princesses are debutantes for the year from the city, and
the countesses are similar from neighboring counties. There
are pages of the court: elementary school children, sons and
daughters of local families in the social calendar. The
Cardinal who crowns the pair is a Media anchor for the local
news. Very uppity. All starting with the Spanish looking for
gold.
