History Alive …Chautauqua
For the Eighteenth consecutive year, The Friends of the Big Bear Valley Library are presenting Chautauqua as part of the Old Miners Celebration. The program will take place on Saturday, July 22, 2016 at 2:00 pm (which is a NEW TIME), featuring Eliza Tibbets, one of the founders of the City of Riverside and pioneer of the California’s citrus industry.
