BUDDY BEAR® PARADE
Our Wonderful Buddy Bear® Parade in Treasure Coast of Florida
The First Annual Buddy Bear® Weekend of The Treasure Coast featured the opening with The Buddy Bear® Parade.
The Buddy Bear® Parade consisted of local schools and home school organizations from Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties ( about 500 in all ) who marched in the parade route that ended at the Entrance of The Buddy Bear® Den. Each child in the parade had a brand new stuffed teddy bear to give to local city, county and state officials to give to the Policemen, Firemen, EMS Ana ERO's to help children in trauma.
At the end of the parade and just before the ribbon cutting ceremony of The Buddy Bear® Den, three Proclamations were read introducing to the attendees Buddy Bear® Weekend and it's wonderful Buddy Bear® Den themes of Child Safety, Literacy & Education and Going Green. The proclamations stated that The First Annual Buddy Bear® Weekend of The Treasure Coast will continue each and every year and will be housed at The City of Port St. Lucie Civic Center.
