Cost is $30 per participant and must be paid in advance.
Spots are limited! Once spots are filled you can be added to a waiting list to be contacted if someone cancels or you will be first to be told about the next Teddy Bear Picnic!
We are hoping this becomes something we can offer often :)

**UPDATE** our machine is now fixed!! Thanks yous and shout outs will happen later on a seperate post 😄

**special announcement**

Some of you might have noticed, we haven't been promoting much of our build a buddy gift shop section, this is due to our stuffing machines motor no ponder turning which prevents the stuffing to actualy happen, with that being said, we'd need to get this fixed, if anyone is aware of someone that can work on small motors, pleas let us know, due to downtown being slow, we are on a budget, but that is something we'd be able to discuss, picture of machine bellow.

I do want to add that although we can't stuff them at the shop, you can hand stuff at home, you get everything that you would in store, just take at home format, and today we are open till 4pm.

Hope to see you all here and pleas let us know of any recommendations of someone that might be able to help us.

**UPDATE: due to low downtown traffic we are closed for the day, we will reopen tomorow 10 to 5:30, hope to see you all then 🙂 **

Christmas is over and a new year approaching, come get your Christmas clothing & buddies while it's still on the floor 🙂, we are aiming to keep the store open till at least 3pm depending on store traffic.

Hope to see you all here 🙂
