Hi
I know it is only July and far too early to be thinking about Christmas. However, I am writing two features in the next two issues which will cover Christmas Shopping for bears. So, if you are attending a fair (not Hugglets, that has already been covered) in late September, October, November or December, please let me know with some photos of your work.
In particular, I will be showcasing three fairs, The Scottish Bear Fair in Troon, The Great Yorkshire Bear Fair in Sheffield, and The British Bear Fair in Brighton. Geographically that works really well, also two of them are new fairs and the other a new venue. All these events promise to be really well attended so if you haven't booked a place now might be the time to do so.
I'm not just talking about fairs either, if you have a signing, or shop event during the run up to Christmas please let me have details of that as well. I will be contacting bear shops as well, so I would expect to have some information directly from them.
The two issues are due to be published mid September and Mid November. For the Mid - Setpember one, which would include anything up to the end of November, please let me have the information by 26th July for the november one, covering December, please let me have the information by 1st September.
My email is tbteditor@btinternet.com
I am really looking forward to seeing what you are planning.
i am mainly looking for events within the UK, but if there is room I could give a little mention to fairs elsewhere as well.
Best Wishes

The Littlest ThistlePhew, I thought I was nuts working on bear fair stuff already, but maybe not lol. I'll see what photos I have for the bears coming with me to Sheffield at the end of the week
