How a Bear Got Adopted

A Business or Organization elected to
sponsor a bear.  In some circumstances,
fundraising efforts were made.

Bears are ordered from


www.cowpainters.com



 

The sponsor selected a design for their
Bear from pre-approved designs or
selected their own artist
who submitted a design for approval.

 
The Bear was delivered for painting
at various locations in New Bern.

 


Bears then got sprayed with a
weather-proof coating.
 

The bear was delivered and placed
at an approved location or an approved
public location in historic downtown New Bern. 
The bears are being highlighted during
New Bern's 300th year celebration in 2010.

 

Each fiberglass bear got mounted
   on a concrete base.
 

A plague was installed indicating the
name of the Bear, sponsor and artist.

An installation ceremony was held
and an Adoption Certificate was
presented to the sponsor.
