Use this link to see a news clip that was aired on a Des Moines, IA news program.  Pretty cool publicity for the teddy bear world!

Oh that was so nice.  I have to ask though, did only 250 people show up for the event?  That is the way it was worded here.

OH no, there were way more than 250 people, that was the number of conventioneers.  If you bought a convention package, you got your meals, lodging in a host home and could attend workshops (many were free.)  Many more attended just for the show.  I don't do a lot of shows, but the turn out for this was much better than I've seen at any show in the last few years.  There were 6 collectors from Arizona that came for the show.

Wow, that is great news.  The pics are great, thanks for posting them.  Next time, I'm in.  I should start now.  It would probably take me 5 years to get ready for a show.
