Line 15: Once popular for camping, the Lighthouse Camp and Landing is the only surviving north shore camp from the 1920s. Hanna Flats and a YMCA camp located within the forest above Fawnskin remain favorites of vacationers. Fawnskin events include the comic Doo Dah Parade, the Loggers’ Jubilee and the Fawnskin Festival. The town also claims the only "honest" election in the nation: anyone can vote for the Fawnskin Mayor, votes are donations of a quarter. The candidate who wins is the one who raises the most money. Hence, the town "buys" their politicians. Today Fawnskin is designated as a protective habitat for [[Golden Eagle\|Golden]] and [[American Bald Eagle]]s. They ~~annual~~ return annually to the valley from November to April. In 1998, the multi-million dollar Big Bear Discovery Center was built and plans to expand. The facility is operated by a partnership between the [[US Forest Service]] and the [[San Bernardino National Forest Association]]. The grounds around the center are the projected new home for the Big Bear Zoo, presently located at Moonridge on the south shore. A variety of celebrities live in the area. Two publishers operate out of Fawnskin and several writers live there full time including ~~[[Al Gill]], [[Joyce Gill]],~~ [[Bradley L. Winch]], [[Diana L. Guerrero]], [[Rita Robinson]], and [[William Sarabande]]. Actress/singer [[Shirley Jones]] and her husband actor/comedian [[Marty Ingles]] also own a home in Fawnskin. Marty Ingles and Shirley Jones developed Fawn Park in downtown Fawnskin to prevent development. This park has been closed since July 2006 due to a dispute between Marty and the residents. The small area contains other parks such as the Old Miller School House Park, Dana Point Park, and the Don Conroy Memorial Park. == See also ==
