Normally in August there is a festival down at Pine Mountain Club (near Frazier Park for those that don't know) called the Center of the World Festival. The name comes from the fact that the Chumash people that lived there say that Mount Pinos is the center on the world. The festival operates on grants and has a theme that changes based on their current grant.

Legacy
I recently went to
a breakfast meeting in Bakersfield which presented information about
John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club and the man that helped
convince Teddy Roosevelt to start the National Parks. In 1976
California historians named him the greatest Californian. (I'm sure
that he'd still be near the top today.) But despite being an
important Californian, he wasn't born here. He was born in Scotland.
