FRONTIER DAY

Children compete in the pie eating contest during the Santa Monica Jaycees' 59th annual Frontier Day at Douglas Park on Saturday, June 21, 2014. The event featured a Puppy Play Pen, Old West Costume Contest, Pie Eating Contest, Water Balloon Toss, Face Painting, Mining for Gold and Live Music. Frontier Day is based on Mark Twain’s novel that tackles some of the most difficult social issues our country faces. However, the novel also embodies a powerful message of freedom and friendship that stem from expanding perspectives as Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, escape together on a journey down the Mississippi river.

The Santa Monica Jaycees (Santa Monica Junior Chamber) is Santa Monica and the Westside's premier organization for young Professionals who want to make the most out of living in the Greater Los Angeles area. Recently named one of the top 115 chapters in America, we are a volunteer organization offering opportunities for leadership development, community service and camaraderie for women and men ages 21-40. Frontier Day was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica
