Hi everyone,

I will once again be selling Beanie Kids at this fantastic event. Bk's, Ck's, GBK's and Giant Kids will be on sale for very special prices due to overstocked bears.
I have over 3000 spare bears for sale. Last year a customer bought a giant sleepy from me and won the Largest Bear Competition.
So come have a great day out with the family and see my BK stall!

Details of this event. 
The Frankston Toy Library will hold its 24th annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic on Sunday 26th February 2012 from 11am-4pm.
More than 5,000 people are expected to attend the highly anticipated, family friendly event which will be held at the George Pentland Botanic Gardens in Frankston.

Attractions include Ronald McDonald, Faerie Crystall, Cool4Kids, Fun-key Music and Hey Dee .
Entry is only $3 per person with free entry for children under 18 months.
Free activities and crafts will be provided and other activities for children will be available for a small cost including rides, an animal farm, face painting, plaster craft as well as many stalls, a sausage sizzle, food and beverage stalls and entertainment throughout the day.
Children are encouraged to bring their favourite teddy bear to the event and participate in the free teddy bear competitions on the day.
The teddy bear competition judges will be looking for the teddy wearing the best costume, the smallest teddy, the most colourful teddy and the biggest teddy.

Free parking will be available at Monash University’s Peninsula campus and a free shuttle bus will transport patrons to the event. Entry is via the Foot Street entrance.


Hope to see you there.

Not long before this HUGE event is here.

I will be having a double stall- thats 2 large Gazebo's that measure 6 metre's - That will be hundreds of beanie kids and accessories on display and for sale.

Bring a picnic and your favourite bear and enter the teddy bears picnic competition. My granddaughter will be carrying her Crystalina GBK along.
 The bear is bigger than Marlie is so i have given her a pram to push it around with.

 Hope to see you there.
