A Few of My Favorite Fall and Winter Activities

For those of you who do not know, I am on a team with two other fabulous ladies. Michelle Hutton and Sophie Formby. Twice a year we put together a list of our favorite mountain activities and distribute a mailer to almost all the local post offices. We do a Spring/Summer and a Fall/Winter calendar with as many events as we can fit onto a two sided mailer. I wanted to share with you our Fall/ Winter calendar that we released a few weeks ago. Please feel free to copy paste or print this calendar and share it wherever you want. Just click on the picture for a much larger view and then copy and save.

We try to attend as many of the events as we can, so if you see one of us, make sure to say hi! Even snap a picture with us so we can post it to our FB page. Which reminds me, you can find us on Facebook at Arrowhead Professional Partners. Don’t forget to stop by our page and click the like button.

For more info on any of these events, feel free to contact us via phone or email and we can provide the website or phone number to gather more info on the event. If you would like on of these flyers mailed to you, please email me you name and address and I will make sure it is in the mail tomorrow. I can also email you a PDF or JPEG so that you can print one out or save it to your computer.

We hope that these dates help you enjoy your mountain experience! See you around town!

Mountian Top Days Parade ~ Running Springs

Who doesn’t love a good parade! This Friday night August 1, 2014 there is a parade in Running Springs at 6:30.

OH AND I WILL BE WALKING IN THIS ONE WITH MY SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM, SO LOOK FOR THE ONES IN BRIGHT ORANGE!

Here is a cute blog about the parade from: http://joanmoseley.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/everybody-loves-a-parade-so-come-to-the-r-s-parade-on-august-1/

The world’s biggest parade is coming to Running Springs on Friday, August 1. Well, that’s a slight exaggeration but I knew it would get your attention.

The town’s biggest parade, however, may be more accurate and when it comes down Hilltop Blvd it should be a-maz-ing! Parade Chairman Jennifer Kellum has put hours and hours into organizing this parade and after last year’s Mountain Days Parade (that was the biggest in decades) she’s got another great parade planned for Friday night, August 1.

This year, to help the Running Springs Area Chamber of Commerce pay well over $1500 for the parade permits from Caltrans and the county and to pay hundreds of dollars for required help from the CHP this will be the first time in the parade’s long history that we are asking our parade participants to pitch in $5 to help defray some of the costs.

For the first time the parade has a “title” With so many things that have happened to our community in the past several years the title, “We’re Still Here!” pays homage to our community members and organizations who have helped each other when the huge landslide took out Hwy. 330 a few years ago following a horrendous storm. We’ve had a tough time financially with the down turn in the economy and several other factors that we have no control over. However, we’re mountain people and mountain people figure out how to survive when times are tough….whether that means the weather, the roads, the economy or just plain old “life.”

Thank you Joan Moseley for the blog, I could not find any other info on the parade except from your site, your commitment to community did not go unnoticed!
