“We had a great time!”  said Show-Me Bears Road Captain Jason. “The attendance and support that the Mr. Heartland Bear contest received this year has been wonderful.”

The Show-Me Bears would like to congratulate Chris on his achievement.  The Illinois-native will be featured in the Show-Me Bears’ St. Louis Pride Parade entry, along with Jesse, Mr. Heartland Bear 2010.

“We would like to thank the judges, volunteers, JJ’s and Club-St. Louis staff, and our own club members for their support,” said Show-Me Bears President Dennis.
