Country Bear Jamboree now has a cheery, sparkling red bow that lights up and a very sweet message.

Poor baby has had a rough way to go. Awhile back, some knucklehead vandalized this beloved bear, setting him on fire at the base. Fortunately the fire was put out before the bear was destroyed, but he was badly charred and discolored. But he’s received some TLC and seems to be back in top form. 

It’s good to see, even if his brown coat of paint makes him look like a waxy chocolate Easter bunny. 

To see more of Country Bear Jamboree, here’s an old costume… and another, and another, and another.
