Belfast Bearfest
 
I had a wonderful time working on this project!

Several views of my Bear (that's my Dad with it)

My Bear "Bearing Maine" spent the summer of 2002 on the waterfront meeting and greeting visitors on the Town Wharf, usually covered with kids - and always smiling. When it came time for "THE GREAT BEAR AUCTION" in October, he and the other bears all found homes and their "adoption fees" went to support a variety of local charities.
