On Friday, October 22, at 9 a.m., children from a local KinderCare will make the first bears of the store. All of these special first bears will be donated to Bear Magic. Bear Magic is an organization that provides teddy bears to Lake County fire and police departments who, in turn, give these teddy bears to children in need and in distress. Also, to perform ribbon cutting duties, Bearemy, the company’s mascot will be on hand.
The following day, Saturday, October 23 at 10 a.m. brings more fun. The first 100 guests can create a free bear to donate to Bear Magic.
