"Well done to everyone involved in the 2017 Brereton Bear Festival - I've had a lovely afternoon walking round admiring all the Bear!"
Altogether there were 132 bears outside folks homes - that's a lot of community engagement for a village.
Helen Edge, Committee Member, said:
"We thoroughly enjoyed Fiona's visit. It is heartening that our efforts on behalf of the community are noticed. The Bear Festival takes quite a lot of planning and a considerable amount of hard work during the month but it is all worthwhile when we see not only the success in monetary terms but the sheer delight of the Bear Hunters as they go round, in all kinds of weather, finding the displays. We hope to return in 2 years!"
