If you are a lover of the teddy bear then we invite you to attend a special kind of show. Our teddy bear shows are appealing to all age groups. There is a special bear in each of our events, just for you.
Some of the finest Canadian and International teddy bear artists appear on a regular basis at Teddy Bears on Vacation events. Many wonderful artist bears are available for adoption, over 1000 at each show looking for a special home.
Our shows also feature the opportunity to purchase a variety of manufactured bears, teddy bear making supplies, figurines, books, teddy bear art, other soft sculptured creations and much much more.
TBOV FUNDRAISING
TBOV operates a raffle during each of our events with the proceeds being donated for Canadian Breast Cancer Research.
Other fundraising efforts through past shows have raised funds for the Children's Aid Foundation and World Wildlife Canada and the International Teddy Bear Relief Fund.
