PennsylvaniaBeing Bears, October 27th is practically a national holiday for us. This year, October 27th will be a whopping big holiday for us! But it seems most humans hardly remember the day, let alone know why us Bears consider it important.
We thought you guys would know this because you're Bear people. We've been lurking and searching the website for any mention of it but we haven't seen anybody talk about it.
So we thought it would be fun to ask you guys if anybody knows why October 27th is a red letter day for Teddy Bears. And, why is THIS year is especially remarkable?
Us Bears hardly need an excuse to party but, trust us! This year, the root beer will be flowing freely! :D
Who can tell us what's the significance of October 27th?
And, be honest! Did you already know or did you have to look it up? 
PennsylvaniaThe 11th is "Take your Teddy Bear to Work Day". We knew that one. :)
We had to look up "Hug a Bear Day".
Nov. 16, 1902 is the day the cartoon "Drawing the Line in Mississippi" by Clifford Berryman (Bear-y-Man! ) was published in the Washington Post. (That one, we knew was in November but had to look up the exact day.)
Your point is well taken, Doodlebears. :)
Don't mind if we quibble? Do you?
Humans celebrate Jesus' birthday. It wasn't until after the Resurrection that his birthday was celebrated as Christmas.
We figure we should celebrate Teddy Roosevelt's B-day for similar reasons.
It is the 150th anniversary of TR's birthday this year! :cake:
Us Bears don't need much of an excuse to party but we're planning on throwing a grand party this year. :bday:
