Trolley Tours of Artists Studios

A cookie from the Robin's Nest B&B on top of "getting to find the animals" in Pat Schermerhorn's bear. What more could a young guy want?

Kids and adults, as you can see in the picture, shared the adventure.

Opinions about the bears varied from, "My favorite was the flowers and bones" (Erika Tenjack and Lana Perrotti's bear) to "There's no question. Den Barhaug's bear is the best," (his is a honey bear) to "What Jeff Rudolph's doing beats everything!"

About Jeff's bear, one trolley visitor suggested about his faux marble finish, "Why not call it the 'AlaBEARster?'"

Preferences ranged so widely among the many people who viewed the bears--some finished, some still works in progress--that soon every bear had his/her fan club.
What everyone had in common was a pleasure in the process, a feeling of the grizzly bears as something that would give pleasure for all.
Thanks to Margie and Mike Johnson for donating the trolley for the day and letting us all have the fun of riding from studio to studio and seeing the creative energies of Cody artists.
