They are big, they are furry and they want your love — and some money, too.
The Teddy Bear Suite, featuring a host of little teddies plus three gargantuan bears who have shunned hibernation in favor of off-season fundraising activities, is back. The Suite, as those in the know call it, is the brainchild of Point B Realty. In the past the Suite has taken up residence at the Harbor View Hotel, the Cave as those in the know call it, and made its debut during Christmas in Edgartown. Kids run to the Cave and frolic in the Suite with the big bears — Edgar, Chappy and Tisbeary — and any donations go to Island charities.
This year the Suite is celebrating the Boys and Girls Club of Martha’s Vineyard, and hoping to raise $15,000 for new paint, a new carpet, a new ping pong table, games, a new television and more. And to make it the best season ever they are opening earlier — on Thanksgiving Day — and rolling along through Christmas. The Suite will be held at the Harbor View Hotel again, but this year the bears will have their own cottage.
There will also be a new big bear on the prowl this year. Front runner names are Sandy, Lucy, Obie and Quinn.
Come on down and get down with the furries. The bears will be waiting.
