Here are the final few pictures. Again, my apologies for the delay. And now, I'm going to Disneyland!

Donna Manthey decorated her table with real pansies. She likes gardens and tea and has incorporated those themes in her bears.

Donna's dancing bears with a travel kit were inspired by the TV shows of dancing

Sue Van Nattan with "Runner," which was made from an antique table runner. Sue has been spending time at an antique mall and is making bears to match the wonderful antiques she's finding.

Pirates of the Caribbean
The Haunted House
Indiana Jones

Thanks for the report and the photos Mindy - they are very much appreciated. It's great to be there vicariously through your camera and description!
Sure wish there were shows here still. I really miss the "Bear Fair" that Sandy Morrow used to put on in Calgary, Alberta. I was hoping someone else would take it over, but I guess it is not to be.
