For nineteen years the Annual Teddy Bear and Doll Show has fascinated collectors, enthusiasts, and crowds of all ages.
Anna Vukovic, coordinator of the Teddy Bear and Doll Show and Sale said "we have over 35 exhibitors from five different states. And we haven't had people stop coming in to visit the sale. We're very pleased with it."
And it's all for a good cause. Proceeds from the show and sale go to the Marietta Area Teddy Bear Fund, which brings a teddy bear and much needed lift to patients in Marietta hospitals.
Both professional and amateur exhibitors say this is the show to be at.
Ken Yenke, a professional bear appraiser and expert says "This year again was a sell out as far as dealers."
Mike Lapinski, an exhibitor at the show said "oh i love it. This is the best show we ever come to. In all the states surrounding Ohio."
And from the looks of it year 20 for the Annual Teddy Bear and Doll Show and Sale will be just as successful.
