Obama 'Bear-y' Happy to be at DNC; McCain Still Waiting in VT
SHELBURNE, Vt., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Just what is all the fuzz about?
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company's specially designed Obama Bears are stuffed
with excitement to be attending the Democratic National Convention this week
inDenver, Colorado. The Bears have been visiting the DNCC offices inDenver
since earlier this summer, and are now among the crowds attending the
convention at the Pepsi Center August 25th-28th, 2008. In related news, the
Company's specially designed McCain Bears are still inVermont, hoping for a
ticket toMinneapolis in September.
The Obama Bears made the flight out west toColorado earlier this summer
and arrived at the Democratic National Convention Committee offices inDenver
on July 25th. They've spent the past several weeks doling out lots of big Bear
hugs to legislators and other politicians, as well as entertaining the DNCC
staff and visiting press.
"The Bears arrived in true Obama style," said a representative from the
Democratic National Convention Committee. "They had their sleeves rolled up
and were ready to work hard."
FUR sure a Bear you can believe in, each specially designed Obama Bear
wears a white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up, black pants, and an Obama
'08 campaign button. (Retail price $109.95; available for sale at
1-800-829-BEAR or shopping online at www.VermontTeddyBear.com/Obama.)
"Although we're extremely happy that our Obama Bears are having a great
time inDenver, we want everyone to know that this in no way reflects the
political views of Vermont Teddy Bear or anyone at the Company," says Liz
Robert, CBO (Chief Bear Officer) of The Vermont Teddy Bear Company. "You could
say though, that our McCain Bears are in a pretty blue state because they have
not yet been invited toMinneapolis."
A courageous Bear at your service, the specially designed McCain Bear
wears a business suit and tie and McCain 2008 campaign button. (Retail price
$109.95; available for sale at 1-800-829-BEAR or shopping online at
www.VermontTeddyBear.com/mccain.)
