In the small town of Big Bear Lake, we have a couple of traditions we keep each year. One tradition that has been around forever is Old Miners' Days. Old Miners' Days is a month filled with celebration and cheer! Some of the events held are: Miss Clementine & Lucky Baldwin Pageant, Old Miners Days Festival, Chili Cook-off, Bluegrass Festival, and an Outhouse Race! You read that right. An outhouse race.
Sally Sherlock, the Director of Communications for the Old Miners' Association, came to the Career Center looking for some volunteers. These events they are having need a lot of extra help, and we at the Career Center were more than happy to volunteer! After setting up a Volunteer Crew made up of past and present WIA students, we got to work! We have already helped with creating memorabilia sets for their museum, setting up their new office space, making flyers and other signage, and assisting at recent events.
It has been a memorable time so far, and we can't wait to see what's next on the Old Miners' Event Calendar!
