It wouldn’t be November without the Twentynine Palms Weed Show. Dan Stork has the call for entries…
This November, the Twentynine Palms Historical Society will again host its Annual Weed Show at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, Twentynine Palms, on Saturday, November 2, from noon to 4 p.m. and Sunday, November 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no fee to enter your creation in the competition or to come view the show. The theme this year is “California Gold,” honoring the memory of Huell Howser, with each category bearing the name of a local landmark—Sugar Bowl, Sheep Hole Pass, Historic Plaza, Oasis of Mara, Luckie Park, the Marine Base, and so forth. Entries in the various categories must use purple glass, or be of a specified size, or relate to mining or education or transportation of other guidelines. Awards will be granted in 12 categories, with a People’s Choice award to be decided by visitors to the exhibition. Entries will be accepted Friday, November 1, between 4 and 6:30 p.m., and Saturday, November 2, between 7 and 9 a.m., at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, 6760 National Park Drive, Twentynine Palms.
