Inyokern readies centennial celebration
You may not be able to tell by its looks, but Inyokern is about to become a centenarian. And some of its
residents and admirers are planning a celebration to mark the occasion.
Inyokern was founded on Sept. 26, 1909. Since then it has been home to generations of desert dwellers
in one of the world’s sunniest places.
To highlight the town’s connection to bright, sunny days, the celebration’s sponsors have dubbed it 100
Years Under the Sun.
“We’re in the planning stages,” said Russ Mathewson, who represents the Inyokern Chamber of
Commerce and is one of the organizers of the event.
“We have a number of activities planned – not the least of which is a parade on Sept. 26,” he said.
Mathewson and others are enlisting participation from surviving members of some of the pioneer families
who first settled Inyokern who will share their memories of what it was like a lifetime ago. The event is
sponsored by the Inyokern Chamber of Commerce.
