Are you bear enough?
International Bear
Do you like to show off, be the center of
attention, and have a dedication of using
your talents for a good cause, if so have you
ever thought about running for a title?
During IBR (International Bear Rendezvous),
there will be four new titleholders named -
International Bear, International Cub,
International Daddy Bear, and International
Grizzly.
If you have ever thought about running for a
title, here is a great opportunity to do so
and how do you become a contestant? Great
question, simply go to www.bearrendezvous.com
click on the contestant link, then click the
link for the contestant application, complete
the information and mail the form to us, the
address is on the form. Time is of the
essence here, the deadline is December 18,
2008. All applications received by then will
be placed in a hat and then by random draw
the 12 US and 4 International contestants are
drawn. Those selected are then notified so
they can complete their travel arrangements.
Those not selected are also notified.
Again, if you have ever just thought about
running for a title, now is the time to do
it. IBR is known as the Granddaddy of the
bear runs; we have been featured in several
documentaries, made it to the D-list and are
known worldwide. We need your contestant

is also our planning meeting, where we will
be doing the random draw.
