Wowser. Now that's a giant Teddy Bear! I certainly understand the want.
Syd and I took my youngest step daughter to the fair one time (Her sister was old enough to go with friends and didn't have to hang out with us) and she was a pretty good sport while we went to 'our stuff'. We finished the night with rides for her, and we watched (often in horror). The midway was right there so as we were wandering out there was a booth that had BIG white bears. She wanted one so I gave it a shot (it was a throwing game, a thing I am quite good at). For $1.00 I got a bear bigger than her. She still has the thing, at least 30 years later.
I hope you get your bear, and I thank you for the memory.
Oh wow such a lovely story! She kept it for so many years... Beautiful!
Thank you for reading and have a wonderful Christmas!
