Awards will be granted in 12 categories, with a People’s Choice award to be decided by visitors to the exhibition.  For more information visit the Historical Society website, 29PalmsHistorical.org.  After you view the weed show, step out back of the museum to see this year’s Chalkfest 29, and then meander over to the Art Gallery to view the Southland Show. It’s all within a 1-block radius and  it’s all free!
