Coachella, CA

Last night, Jackson Square Shopping Center did a great thing that think people need to know about. Albertsons and the surrounding buisnesses donated money to host a middle school choir competition in their parking lot. Not only did several people show up to hear these youth sing Christmas Carols but U92.7 the radio station was there to help promote it on the air.

The kids all sang beautifully and there were 6 different middle schools competing.

1st place went to Sacred Heart from Palm Desert,they received $1,000

2nd place went to Palm Desert Charter Middle School and they received $500

What an amazing way for Albertsons to support our kids.

Below is information about the City of Coachella in the Coachella Valley:

COACHELLA is a city in Riverside County, California and is the most eastern city in the region collectively known as the Coachella Valley (or the Palm Springs area). Coachella is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in Southern California and enjoys a reputation of being a family oriented city with a rich cultural heritage. Also called the "City of Eternal Sunshine", Coachella's annual events include a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta which thousands attend, 16th of September Fiesta with food booths, Mariachi and Ballet Folklorico dancers, and the Coachella Christmas Parade held the 2nd Saturday in December. Coachella is largely a rural, agricultural, family-oriented community in the desert and one of the state's fastest growing cities in the late 20th century. When it first incorporated back in 1946, it had 1,000 residents but has grown 50 times to nearly 50,000 residents by the year 2006.

Coachella's population is approximately 40,000 making it one of the highest population growth rates in the state. With a population density of 15,500 per square mile, this predominantly agricultural city has one of the highest in California outside of an urban area.

The eastern half of the Coachella valley is below sea level, and the area's average elevation is 68 feet (35 m) below sea level. The Salton Sea, a saltwater lake located about 10 miles (6 km) South of Coachella, lies 227 feet (69 m) below sea level.

The city also lends its name to the Coachella grapefruit; the town's stretch of State Route 111 is named Grapefruit Boulevard in its honor. Harrison Street or State Route 86 is declared historic U.S. Route 99, the major throughfare that connects with Interstate 10 a few miles north of town.
