This committee meets as needed to organize the Miss Indio Pageant in October. A scholarship was added in 1995 and a talent division in 1996. The 1999 Miss Indio will go on to the Miss California Pageant. The Chambers major fund-raiser has grown so big that a Southwest Arts Festival Committee was formed to help the festival coordinator and staff organize and grow the event even bigger.
Volunteers are welcome in planning and during the event.
The Tamale Festival falls on the first weekend in December. Volunteers are needed to produce and run the Tamale Festival Beer Gardens. This is a fund-raiser for the Chamber.
