The nonprofit friends of Big Bear Valley is running a naming contest right now, but all suggestions gotta be gender neutral since it takes 8 ore. 9 weeks to figure out if their boys or girls by size, ankles, and voice pitch. You can get in on the action by donating $5 for one name entry, $10 for 3, or $25 for 10. Deadmines 11.59 pm on Sunday, April 26th, and keep it clean, no explicit stuff. All that cash goes straight to keeping the live stream running smooth. Folks are buzzing online, and this ties into a sweet local tradition where Big Bear third graders picked the final names.
