In November of 1902
Theodore Roosevelt went on a four day
bear hunt in Mississippi. Some of his companions ran ahead when the
hunting dogs picked up a scent. Once President Roosevelt arrived at the
scene, he discovered a bear tied to a tree with a rope. A compassionate
President would neither shoot the bear nor permit it to be shot. When
news of the President's decision got out, a famous political cartoonist,
Clifford Berryman, released his
interpretation of the event as a cartoon and the rest is history! The
Teddy Bear was born and has lived in our hearts for over a 100 years Loved by
Adults and Children alike, Teddy Bears have become very popular in the
last couple of years by Brides who want them as part of their Wedding reception or
as a keepsake of the couples special day. In 2003 we were inundated by requests
to supply 'Teds' as we call them to be incorporated in wedding reception décor.
No Teddy Bear is alike and all costumes are
all hand made to order and are dressed in colours aimed to match the
Brides dress and the Grooms attire.
We have two options on offer here on how we
display bears with balloons, or as an alternative if you do not live in
our immediate area Teddies can be purchased separately and posted to you. |
