On July 12th, Sarah and I went to Big Bear's annual Chili Cook Off to spread the word about the Career Center and our upcoming programs! We have been volunteering a lot with the Old Miners' Association, who runs the Chili Cook-Off in every year, offered us a space to set up a booth at their event.
We brought a tent, tables, chairs, and plenty of flyers filled with information on Saturday morning, ready to go! With the help of our Career Mentor and one of the Center's students, we had it set up pretty quick. The crowds started to come for the Chili Cook-Off around ten, and with their chili samples in tow, they would look at our booth and ask us what the Career Center was. We were happy to tell them, and walk around the Cook-Off passing out flyers in turns.
We didn't get a lot of sign-ups for our program that day, but we got plenty of people interested and were able to get the word out at a huge Big Bearian social gathering! Definitely a way to advertise the Center and what we can do for Big Bear! Hope we can do it again!
