Grover Beach is honoring the victims of 9/11 with an art and memorabilia display.

This is an annual event where artists are invited to create or display something to honor and remember the victims of 9/11.

They say every year the exhibit grows and new generations come in to learn.

"Our firefighters to have an opportunity to say where they were at the time and what they were doing and how it's impacted their lives and how it makes them feel about the future of community service and public service," said Kathy Petker, Parks and Recreation director of Grover Beach.

The exhibit is on display at Ramona Garden Park Center.

A remembrance ceremony will be held Wednesday night at 5:30. The mayor, the five cities fire chief and the Grover Beach police chief will all be giving a speech.
