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.
