Past Time BearsLove the video, Dawn . . . a superb way of showing the overall effect of the show! Terrific, imaginative creations from a bunch of talented artists and looks like everyone was having much fun! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Boechout, AntwerpDamn you, Dawn, for showing us this video ! 
Now I feel awful that I wasn't there :crackup: .
Seriously, I am glad that lots of bears (for the WSPA and yours of course) found new homes and that there was a good crowd. (On the video it often looked like there weren't many people, but they did a great job on filming the bears :clap: ).
Hugs, :hug:

Peter & the bears
It was one of my favourite types of fair Peter. It never got over-crowded, however, the people that did come were all very serious about bears. They were very friendly, and I didn't see a single person leave without buying a bear. People cam in steadily throughout the day. There was also a lovely cafe there so a lot of the people were in there tucking into rolls and chocolate while the filming was going on.
Everybody came round all the tables several times which meant that there was time to really talk to the collectors, and for the collectors to choose their bear without feeling pressured by time constraints.
Everyone that I spoke to had a great day, and without exception everyone wants to do the fair again. I have a feeling that this fair will grow into a very busy fair, whilst keeping it's intimate quality. The venue was beautiful.
I had a particularly good day for WSPA and had to smile as one woman kept coming back to see a Hugs Unlimited Panda, but couldn't make her mind up between him and another bear in the show. Eventually, she chose the other bears - however I was surprised and delighted to find out that the other bear was one of the more expensive bears on the WSPA table that Chris was looking after.

What fun! All the bear necessities in one place.

The Littlest ThistleI'll have to tell my friend Jo her dragon made it onto the film, she's famous 
It was a lovely fair, so glad I was able to make it in the end.
The Littlest ThistleBTW, it's a shame he didn't capture the guy that bought your Paddington from the WSPA stall, he was clutching him so tightly in case he ran away!

I know, it really was love at first sight wasn't it. I think the filming was done around lunch time - most of the people were in the cafe then . I'm glad you had a good time. I really enjoyed myself, sometimes the more intimate fairs can work just as well as the really large ones. The atmosphere was brilliant - everyone seemed to be smiling all day. Thank you for helping to sell the big Fluffy guy. I wsa expecting to maybe sell smaller bears, but it was the biggest one that got most of the attention. Zapyrus is looking forward to seeing you in Sheffield.

Aww.
I watched this at work yesterday -- great way to spend the afternoon, and so many teddies. :) :) I hope everyone had fun, and I am pleased to hear there were lots of bear adoptions. :)
Thanks to whomever created the video -- I wish/hope more venues to do this, it's great for those who can't attend such places, but can at least see all the great teddy bears. :)

Hi Thomas
It was a local on-line TV station. Coast TV - they heard about the event and asked if they could film it.
