It’s Teddy Bear Time Again at Fall River Public Library!
It’s teddy bear time once again at the Fall River Public Library, so get those teddy bears down from the toy shelf, dust them off, and spruce them up for the annual Teddy Bear Picnic, Tuesday, August 8 at 11:00 a.m. on the front lawn of the Fall River Public Library, 104 N. Main Street. Families are invited to bring a blanket to spread on the lawn, a picnic lunch and of course, their favorite teddy bear! In case of rain, the event will take place on Friday, August 11 at 11:00 a.m.
The event will include a storytime featuring such entertaining bear tales as The Bear Came Back by Tami Sauer and BIG by David Worthington. Following the storytime, children will be invited to make a teddy bear craft and participate in a teddy bear parade, led by the library’s mascot, Bartholomew Bear, who will also be available to greet fans and pose for pictures. The event will also feature the annual teddy bear beauty contest in which prizes will be awarded to the prettiest, funniest, most original, and best loved bears attending the picnic. This year the Teddy Bear Doctors will be returning to the Library to ensure sure each child’s bear stays fit as a fiddle! Teddy bears will have their heart and blood pressure checked, and receive vitamins as well as have some x-rays if needed.
“The Teddy Bear Picnic remains one of the library’s most popular children’s programs of the summer,” commented Supervisor of Children’s Services, David Mello. “Parents enjoy this event as much as the children do, with many bringing their stuffed companions from their childhood!” This event is sponsored by Rockland Trust Bank.
