Every bang-up shindig needs a theme and this year’s Twentynine Palms Pioneer Days is no exception. This October will mark the 77th annual celebration of the area’s rich mining, ranching, and pioneer heritage. The Twentynine Palms Chamber of Commerce asks, “What do you like best about Twentynine Palms?” Put it in a few words and your phrase could be chosen to adorn thousands of Pioneer Days buttons to be sold by this year’s Honorary Judge and Sheriff. “Live the Pioneer Spirit” and “New Friends ~ New Frontiers” are some examples of years past. Be a part of history and a part of your community by submitting your idea for the Pioneer Days theme. To submit a theme or for more information call the Twentynine Palms Chamber of Commerce at 760-367-3445.
