Red Carpet Gala Fundraiser
Brings Glitz and Glamour

The Chamber welcomed 225 guests to its annual fundraiser Gala on February 23 at The Convention Center at Big Bear Lake.  The formal-attired guests enjoyed the dancing music of The Groove Mercenaries of San Diego and feasted on coq au vin and prime rib, while enjoying the bling and fun of the Academy Awards themed event.  The Chamber thanks the many sponsors and donors who helped make the event successful and a great experience for our members and their guests!  See all the photos here.

The Chamber wants your visit to be a safe and happy one for visitors, residents and businesses.  We offer a comprehensive guide to making the most of your trip including links for current weather, getting here safely, avoiding fines,  getting around Big Bear, our litter problem, and overall courtesies to extend to our residents and businesses.  Spread the word to check our website for these valuable links.
