It’s Time to Bid Goodbye to the Bears in the Valley

Deerfield Valley, VT – September 12, 2007 – Columbus Day weekend will have three separate events to see off the bears in the valley. Two events offer the option of bidding on a bear of your own and the Sunday procession is a great way to see all of the big bears in a parade. Bears in the Valley has been the result of hundreds of volunteers and supporters including the organizing committee, artists, students, teachers, sponsors, and many others throughout the valley. While some of the bears will be going to other places, there is still opportunity to bid on bears to keep them here in the valley by bidding at the live auction or the final call for the silent auction.
