The Maine Teddy Bear & Fiber Arts Show
July 26, 2008 9:30am - 3:00pm  Wells Beach, ME
Admission: Adults $6  Children 12 & Under $3

The 3rd Annual Maine Teddy Bear & Fiber Arts Show will be held at the Coastal House in Wells Beach, Maine. This southern Maine coastal town is easy to find and a very popular destination for summer holidays! We'll have this bright and lovely venue filled with a beautiful juried selection of high quality artist teddy bears. 

Please note that the show has been moved up to the last weekend in July. Lack of venue and hotel availability made it impossible to continue holding the show in August. The show will remain the last Saturday in July going forward.

The show features:
The Ornaments for Giving Tree featuring ornaments for all occasions made by our artists!
Proceed from the sale of these ornaments will benefit
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland, ME.

In addition to fabulous handmade teddy bears the show will now offer other fiber creations (needle felting, felt and cloth dolls, etc.)
 by artists from across the US and Canada -  all heirloom quality, collectible originals
