                  Excerpts from Kristy: 
                     Do 
                    I need to even mention that your tour group will be minimum 
                    50 percent kids? Lots of cute bears and they show you how 
                    a bear is "born". From the fabric cuttings, to sewing, 
                    stuffing and packaging.  
                  You get to watch the "handmade' process in action. And 
                    it's quite unique. There aren't too many places that you can 
                    watch a teddy bear made or even stuff your own bear. Worth 
                    the stop, but it is teeming with people, so unless you're 
                    one for crowds and large tour groups, be prepared to browse 
                    and tour in about an hour.  
                  You can also purchase just about every kind of Teddy Bear 
                    in the gift shop and clothes too if you already have a bear.
