Local artist, Cory Hamilton, a fan of hit maker Post Malone, presented Post with a custom, carved gift during video production for his song, “I Had Some Help,” with Morgan Wallen. It was filmed at our own Joshua Tree Saloon.

Mil-Tree (a local non-profit supporting veterans) and the crew from their 2023 production, Tapestry, accept the Outstanding Indoor Theatrical Production at the 2024 Joshuas Honors Gala. Featured left to right: Karen Morton, Sally Gorill, Pat Wallis, Cheryl Montell, Director Christian Camargo, Gabriella Evaro, Mark Gender, and Nadia Clark. The honor was presented by Bobby Furst (somewhere behind everyone there on stage).

How the hay is it November already!
It’s been a beautiful blur between the October and November issues. We even managed to sneak in a gala somewhere in between the two. The community showed up and brought all their magic to the Joshua Tree Retreat Center for the 3rd Annual, 2024 Joshuas Honors Gala. Like the attendees and performers, the weather couldn’t have been more splendid (more on the Joshuas in the pages to follow).
As we journey into the fall and winter seasons and the many holidays that come with it, may I just express one more time how fortunate we are to tell your stories, raise your voice, promote your art, and tell the world that it’s not just our National Park that makes this place fascinating – it’s all of YOU. Please keep sending in your ideas and events to info@joshuatreevoice.com, and feel free to upload your events onto our website’s community calendar.
