In honor of Independence Day, Sterling Municipal Library hosted its 21st
annual Teddy Bear Parade and Picnic June 30. More than 170 youngsters
marched with their stuffed animals through the library following Tuba Bear
(Jim Cunningham) as he played his teddy bear march. Cunningham has
been playing the part of Tuba Bear since 1983 when he was invited by then
public information officer Audrey Maeser to lead the parade. Shown from
left are Joe Alvarez, Aaron Arable, Brenna Plante, Angel Arable, Alexis
Arable, Lili Alvarez, Tuba Bear and Bennett Plante.
