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.

Contestants of Clementine pageant in Parade

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Living here in Big Bear my whole life, I have participated in the Miss Clementine fashion pageant since I can remember!

 

I Started out entering as a Tiny Miss contestant then to Junior Miss and finally being able to compete for the “Miss Clementine” title and now being in the family category.

 

What a great opportunity to feel like an old miner! It has always reminded me of Little House on the Prairie. It is also a wonderful occasion to be part of this celebrated community!

 

So, just a few weekends ago I entered the Miss Clementine pageant with my family (my two children, my older sister and her daughter) in the best family category. We won wearing our old fashion bathing suites on our way to the ”ole fishing hole”!

 

This weekend you can catch us in the Old Miner’s Day parade a top the Clementine float! Starting promptly at 12:30 on the corner of Summit and Big Bear Blvd, and continuing west towards the Village!  I’m sure there will be no way to miss us, as we will be the bathing beauties singing “Zip a De Doo Dah”! Make sure to wave, shout and show us your appreciation! Hope to see you all there…cant wait!
