The Arcadia Historical Society‘s third annual Creative Expression Contest is underway and focused on the 75th Anniversary of the Adams’ Pack Station and that area of the Angeles National Forest of the San Gabriel Mountains near Chantry Flat with the theme of “History Lives Here: In the San Gabriels.”
In addition to being open to students attending school in Arcadia, as always, this year the contest is also open to adult residents of Arcadia. The deadline is March 29 to turn in your poem, essay, painting, drawing, photography, video, PowerPoint, or deliver your live performance relating to the theme.
Two prizes in each category range from $25 to $125. (Contest details and entry form here.)
Winners will be determined by April 15 with some entries being displayed during a Historical Marker dedication and 75th Anniversary celebration at Adams’ Pack Station at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 17, and most entries being put on exhibit at Arcadia Historical Museum exhibit May 7 – 28.
