Miss Merrily Kutner

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

What did you do for the Halloween Holiday? Well, Halloween in Big Bear was a lot more than Spooks, haunts and tricks. We went to the Village to meet Miss Merrily Kutner, and hear her read two of her scary manuscripts!

Merrily Kutner is an award winning author, who shares her love of rhyming and monsters with all of us who attended. We enjoyed ‘em so much we had to buy one!

Of course we choose the“Kids Choice Award” winning one “Z is for Zombie” We sat and chatted with her for a while and she told us how, when her son was little he loved monsters and rhymes, but when she went to the library to check out a rhyming monster book, she found none. SO, like any good mother would do…she wrote one herself! And we are sure lucky she did!

She was all dressed up for us and even had eyeball flambé! EWWWW! What a great time we had, and we can’t wait for next fall, when her newest book comes out “Alphebet Magic”!

60th Annual Old Miner’s Day Parade

Friday, July 31st, 2009

If you are looking for some fun this weekend, I would recommend coming up to Big Bear for our 60th annual Old Miner’s Days Parade!

 

The fun begins at 12:30pm at the corner of Summit and Big Bear Blvd. making its way westward towards the Village. It comes to a grand finale end in the Village at the Elk’s Lodge.

 

This year’s parade is expected to be bigger and better. More bands are participating including the Unites States Marine Corps Band from Twentynine Palms. The U.S. Army’s 11th Cavalry from Fort Irwin is a parade entry along with floats, equestrian units and lots of entries from local Valley organizations are part of the celebration of the Valley’s history.

A flyover by a U.S. Navy aircraft is also planned. This wonderful parade lasts just a few hours but the memories to be made will last a lifetime! Come and join us for this once a year celebration! Hope to see you there.
