July 4th is right around the corner and did you know that Big Bear Lake is in the top 3 of all fireworks displays in Southern California? (*http://www.about.com/)
I've lived here for 18 years and I have to tell you that there is nothing more spectacular than the feeling you get whilst hanging out on the lake all bundled up on your pontoon boat with the waves lapping at the sides of the boat. The lake is lit up with boats and the fireworks are in sync with the music on 93.3 KBHR. I feel so lucky to live here in this beautiful place. That is why I share my enthusiasm with my clients. I know that this is a piece of heaven and I don't ever want to hoard it. I want to share it!
So here are the happenings in Big Bear this next month:
