Following a highly successful first exhibit that saw almost $15,000 raised for local charities, Bearfootin’ in Hendersonville 2004 kicked off with Hibernation Day, Saturday, January 24. The artists and sponsors picked up the newest members of their families and spirited them off for three months of embellishment before the official opening on Saturday, April 24. According to Jim Kastetter, Executive Director of Downtown Hendersonville, Inc., all 32 bears are now sponsored with more than half of the sponsors coming from last year’s pioneer group of twenty-six sponsors.

Dietzel of Main Street’s The Paintin’ Shed joined with her sister
Donna Leaven to sponsor Bearly Fishin’, one of the most popular bears in
last year’s display. “It was a terrific experience, Dietzel enthused.
“What I treasured most was watching the families enjoying the bears and
talking with them about the exhibit.”
