Thank you to all of our fantastic volunteers for supporting our annual Teddy Bear Days this past weekend including Memorial Hospital nurses, T.Rowe Price, Pikes Peak Library District and others! And the event was a huge success because of our valued sponsors: Kaiser Permanente, Memorial Hospital, My 99.9FM, Comcast and The Gazette! With the fabulous weather and families seeking affordable family excursions, attendance was huge! We saw 9,722 people throughout the weekend and 1,285 bears at the clinic! Enjoy these fun photos from the weekend’s festivities:
Theodore Roosevelt talked with Zoo guests about the history of the teddy bear.
Broadmoor Fire & Rescue and AMR opened their vehicles – a great interactive display!
Memorial Children’s Nurses gave great teddy bear check ups and even performed CPR to save a bear’s life:
