This is a very moving “demo” video about the “First 70” parks that are slated for closure. The production company is looking for donations to help them fund the project. Please post this on your website. Keep a tissue nearby when watching ; ) Hopefully they will get the funding to complete this project and make their way here to Palomar. Thanks! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefirst70/the-first-70

Thanks to Rosemary for sending the following article for all.

From: Terri Bailey [mailto:trb1888@inetworld.net] 
A new Scary Movie, is about to be released, some of it was filmed here at Bailey’s Palomar Resort, and the Lilacs cabin.

Bailey’s, has been hosting movie crews for many, many year’s dating back to Cecil B. De Mille, filming the Virginian, Clark Gable staying at the Resort, and Greta Garbo helping Adalind Bailey with the mailing for the opening of the Observatory. 

 We are co hosting a film crew right now for a “love story” that will be released in the near future.

Exciting,  fun and very interesting, these folks work very hard at their craft, and we are proud to help them out. 

Action!,

  Just in time for Christmas! 

A very fun read for children and kids of all ages!  One of our mountain residents penned the story that follows a family who loves living on Palomar. But then a neighbor makes them an offer they can’t refuse to move to, oh, you just have to read the book!  The initial plot takes you to some familiar places.  The names are all fictional, but you’ll enjoy puzzling it out. Adventure, science fiction, drama and even comedy abound, so there is something for everyone!  This delightful book is targeting the imagination of elementary school children, and adults, who have found themselves drawn into the world of the Lunarium.

Read a Review then click to learn more from the Palomar Author’s website,

You’ll find ordering information here for your own paperback which makes great gifts too!  Like an autograph?  That could be arranged too!

Love your Kindle?  Simply click here and you are all set with Amazon.

Who is the author?  Leah Stevens! She uses the pen name of LeLe Ste.  LeLe has been a nick name for years, and Ste?  Well, it is the first three letters of their last name.  LeLe Ste, kinda catchy, don’t cha think?  She her husband Joe, and their three children, live and work at the Christian Conference Center and enjoy every minute up here, a mile nearer heaven.  And yes, they do keep snow in their freezer for summer time fun.  (You have to read the book!)   

The sequel to Lunarium is already in the works with a children’s writing contest  planned.  The winner of the contest will find themselves a guest character in that book, and book #3 is already spinning around in her head.  (A very busy head, by the way!  You MUST meet this gal!!!)

Go ahead, stoke the fire, pour a cuppa, and settle in with the whole family for a story you just can’t put down! 

(Yes, Leah and her family will be joining us for Caroling Sunday night!)

Bundle up and join us on a caroling hay-ride followed by fire-side fun at the Palomar Mountain Lodge!

Merrily, Merrily!  Here we go a-Caroling! This is a second annual very fun even led by Ken Cross, and this year, Cecilia Borland on their guitars.  And, and how about YOU playing along with your favorite instrument?  Peggy Cross will have song sheets for all.

This Sunday evening, December 11th

5:00 Meet at the Palomar Mountain Lodge where you have your choice of riding inside a vehicle or in one of two, horse trailers, sitting on bales of hay.  You can also carpool with others in heated comfort.

7:30 We’ll have a warm fire waiting for us back inside the Palomar Mountain Lodge for more singing, lots of goodies, and you are welcome to bring a table game – everyone welcome!  Some door prizes to win, too!

Bring your family, friends, flashlights, favorite appetizer or dessert to share, and a stick of firewood for the fireplace and wood stove that we will have tended all afternoon so toasty warm for all.  Hot Chocolate, Coffee will be ready when we return.
