The Holiday Bear Fair Returns

logo for the WV Observer holiday bear fair event.

Jefferson the Bear Returns to The Observer this December!

Get your crayons and creativity ready! The second annual Holiday Bear Fair featuring Jefferson the Bear returns in the next issue of The Observer. The Holiday Bear Fair is once again sponsored by Jefferson Security Bank.

What’s the Holiday Bear Fair?

The Bear Fair is a free, safe, and fun way to spread holiday cheer!

Gather your kids (and the kid in you!) to decorate a picture of Jefferson the Bear. Display your creation at home or share with the community by dropping it off in the lobby of a participating Jefferson Security Bank branch (look for a specially-marked box). You can also email a picture of your creation to The Observer. And this year, you may win a prize!

When does the Holiday Bear Fair take place?

Thanksgiving week until the end of December.

Where do I find Jefferson the Bear pictures to decorate?

Look in December’s Observer, which will be available in mailboxes and pick up points across Jefferson County starting Thanksgiving week.

You can also download and print Jefferson the Bear’s picture from The Observer’s website WeAreTheObserver.com starting Thanksgiving week.

Prize? Did you say prize?

Anyone who submits a decorated bear will be automatically entered to win a gift card to a local small business.

Remember to support your favorite local businesses — eat, play, and shop local this Holiday Season!
