Bear Log – Travel Date, Sunday, April 9, 2006

Today was the last day of the convention. I went out to visit with more people.

While I was out, I had my picture taken with Zippy the Clown. He has been part of the entertainment with the Swan Bros. Flying Teddy Bear Circus all three days of the convention.

When I visited at Bev Dodd’s table, I found long nosed bears that were very interesting.

I also went back to visit at Donna Butts’ table and check out her third place winner in the Best of Show contest. WOW!

I wanted to visit again with the bear that won second place in the Best of Show contest at Scott MacKenzie’s table, but that bear had gone to a new home, so I was too late.

At the end of the day the group from Teddy Talk gathered for a picture together. Aren’t we a cute group!

The Teddy-Talk gang, from left to right: Shellie Heinemann (Potbelly Bears); Donna Butts (Yosemite Bearworks); Donna Mettling (The Bruin Sisterhood); Bev Dodd (Bev’s Bears); Virginia Jasmer (Jazzbears); Lois the Cub Reporter (me!) and Bev Haring (Esmerldas).

We’re really tired and ready to head home, but we’re already marking our calendars for next year’s convention. Be sure to mark yours for April 13, 14 and 15, 2007, and join us in Nevada City for the 24th Annual International Teddy Bear Convention. (Yes, you’ll have to complete your taxes before you come, but we promise it will be worth your while!)
