For those that have not been to Big Bear, you are missing out on a fun day and now it looks like they are going to have another event on Sunday that you can stick around for. It is the Miss Clementine Contest where the folks dress up in period dress and are judged. It is a fun event for those who have never seen it. Mike Austin will be there as our MC again this year, Mark Sweeney will be chief judge and I along with Donnie will be head scorekeepers. Hope to see you there!
