SUMMER SPLASH IN JOSHUA TREE SATURDAY

The Joshua Tree Rotary Club’s third annual “Summer Splash” is from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday at the Joshua Tree Community Center. The event was rescheduled from smoky days earlier this summer. An art show has been added to this year’s Splash, in addition to classic kid’s games, face painting, dance demonstrations, car and tractor show, hoop classes, military displays, a dunk tank, and barbecue. Also new at this year’s Splash is residential e-waste collection and residential tire recycling with a nine-tire limit. “On Tapp” will provide live performances and the water park will be on. Admission and parking are free. Bruce’s Coyote Kitchen will provide the barbecue. All proceeds from Summer Splash will be distributed through the Rotary Club of Joshua Tree Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. This year, Joshua Tree Rotarians distributed $4,000 in scholarship funds to deserving seniors at all four Morongo Basin high schools.
