Welcome to the first totally on-line issue
of Spring/Summer Big Bear Magazine.
Still amazing to me where we’ve come over the last couple
decades – from print to internet. Never did I think back
in 1995, when Big Bear Magazine began, our entire industry
would be so very different. But, here we are. .For our loyal
readers, we will be keeping the same format we’ve had
in our print publication for more than 14 years. Over the years
we’ve received many testimonials and comments from our
readers, who love the charm and charisma offered by Big Bear
Magazine and the Big Bear community. We’re pleased to
say, you will continue to see the same, from our new on-line
editions.
Summer is always a great time in the Big Bear
Valley, and has always been the favorite season of 2nd Homeowners
as well
as locals. Who wouldn’t love the wonderful weather, Big
Bear Lake itself, and all the outstanding activities the community
has planned for the next few months? Thank you to Rick Bates,
Director of Event Resources in Big Bear, who has supplied us
with an up-to-date calendar of events, for the next six months.
Print it out, and keep it on the refrigerator. That way, you
can always have a good idea what’s planned for the mountains.
Do remember however, things can change, so always double check
dates and times. We’ll also be posting event updates,
homeowner tips, and more on our blog at www.bigbearmagazine.com,
so please check regularly as we continue to grow with this
new cyberspace magazine.
Take a special look at our feature story from
Christie Walker, “Free
or almost free… 10 Fun Things to do in the Big Bear Valley
during the spring and summer.” Read about the Cougar
Crest Trail – one you may not have yet hiked, on the
North shore of the lake, in Sandy Steers hiking story.
In this issue, you’ll also get to know some Big Bear
People – Roger Nannini, famed artist, and passionate
Big Bear residents, Peggy and Jim Otterstrom, in their story “Walking
Their Talk.”
And we’ve included a new “Critter Chat” for
our dog lovers, who want to be certain their dogs are receiving
the very best. Visit MaggiesDogMunchies.com, for organic dog
cookies your dog will love!
We are pleased to a introduce a new Big Bear
Business to Business segment, featuring uplifting thoughts
for local businesses
as well as businesses across the country, by Marlene Cain,
Staffing and Career Consultant, and Vice chair Membership for
the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce – “Opportunity
Knocks.” Don’t miss Ms.Cains thoughts for dealing
positively in a down economy.
We’re glad you’ve joined us at Big Bear Magazine.
Stay in touch – there is always more to come.
