... Bears, Beans and Collectable Shows - Chester, England
Daphne, editor of 'Bean Bag and Collectables' magazine in the UK, writes the following:
Hello ... I thought you may like to hear that I have lost any traces of sanity and have been working on the Bears, Beans and Collectables Show to run on Sunday 17 August at The Race Course in Chester ... that's England, not one of the USA Chesters, sorry!  As well as sellers of all sorts of ursine collectables, we're really pleased to have the support of key manufacturers:

and so it goes ... sellers will have everything from Beanies, Attic Treasures, Disney, Chubbleys, Me to You, Bad Taste Bears, Gund, Russ, Deans, Merrythought, Steiff and so many more recognised names, as well as bear artists with their individual mohair creations

We have a recognised expert doing free valuations on old bears ... free Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments ... free child entry and just £1.50 for adults.  There should be raffles and competitions a-plenty, too

As well as having fun, we shall be supporting two charities: Cancer Research UK and The World Society for the Protection of Animals, well known for their excellent 'Libearty' work with bears

It's exciting and oh-so-close now ... and I shall soon be a nervous wreck, overdosing on chocolate!

This is going to be the biggest gathering of bears and beans for quite some time in the UK, with the unique angle of manufacturers's support

As there's so much to tell about it, we've developed an information website at www.chestershow.com.  I do hope you'll take a look ... and why not fly in to join us, LOL?

... 'Premier' Ordering
Thanks to David for sharing the following with us:
I just noticed that American people who are purchasing Premier are quoting $32... for 2 bears, including USA shipping.  I wasn't aware of the Portsmouth software listing in any other currency, it only lists UK Pounds (£)    £32 = $50  (approx.)


... Ty and FTD
On April 11th, a reader of Ms. Janie reported to have received a notice from FTD, announcing "a new alliance with the #1 name in Plush", stating that the new partnership will help increase sales by offering customers the chance to enhance and complement their floral order with the world famous Beanie Babies®!"

Today, through Ms. Janie, 'Joann' reports further news regarding this new partnership, and writes: "Just back from the FTD convention in Fl. Bloom will be the special bear offered from Ty and FTD.  Has 2 hangtags-the TY one and a hangtag that says GREAT THINGS ARE IN BLOOM WITH TY & FTD.  Just wanted to let you know.  I'm surprised no one has posted this. Joann"

... Star of This Birthday is the Ice Cream Cone
Although this is non-Beanie news item, we are true lovers of ice cream in our family and found this article quite interesting.  (And who knows, maybe Ty will make your 'favorite flavors of Beanies' ... Rocky Road, Peach, Strawberry, etc.  Oh, my goodness, dare we let our minds wander further? :)

DAIRY QUEEN CELEBRATES THE ICE CREAM CONE'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY
Dairy Queen(R) celebrates the ice cream cone's 100th anniversary, September 22, 2003. (PRNewsFoto)[AG]
MINNEAPOLIS, MN USA 07/22/2003

Forget the Cake, Star of This Birthday is the Ice Cream Cone Dairy Queen(R) Celebrates Cone Centennial With Free Ice Cream Cones With Contributions Benefiting Children's Miracle Network MINNEAPOLIS, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The cake is usually the star of any birthday celebration, but this time it's the ice cream that takes center stage as the ice cream cone turns 100 years old on September 22, 2003.  To celebrate, Dairy Queen(R) will give away free 5 oz. ice cream cones on Monday, September 22. Dairy Queen employees also will be collecting donations for Children's Miracle Network (CMN) with the goal of raising one million dollars. CMN is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children by raising funds and awareness for 170 hospitals for children throughout North America. The free 5 oz. vanilla ice cream cones will be served at participating Dairy Queen restaurants nationwide. "The ice cream cone, like Dairy Queen, is an American icon," said Chuck Mooty, president and CEO of International Dairy Queen, Inc. "So it's a natural for Dairy Queen to take the lead in this celebration. At the same time, this great occasion allows us to make a difference in the lives of so many by raising money for Children's Miracle Network." As Dairy Queen kicks off a yearlong celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Ice Cream Cone with free cone day, other events and promotions involving the famous "cone with the curl on top" are being planned throughout 2004.

... Warner Rolls Out to Reopen Bike Path
Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner,  who makes lots of money but few public appearances, showed up briefly Friday to inaugurate a public bike path he spent $500,000 to rebuild near his Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel in Montecito.

"Let's test it out and see how it works," he declared with a smile as he hopped aboard a fat-tired cruiser bike provided by his aides.

He then awkwardly donned a blue helmet admitting "I haven't worn these as much as I should" and pedaled off into the midday sun, cheered on by dozens of people at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

... More Canadian News for Collectors
There are various 'rumors' circulating of additional Canadian Exclusive Beanie Babies yet to come.  In addition to 'True', a reader (Diane) reports to Ms Janie:
Saw your note about True, North, Free and Strong. We know True's been announced which I ordered last week from my dealer in Toronto. She just called that she has rec'd notification of North, Free, and Strong . So I have just preordered these from her. They definitely are words from the National Anthem. My office is just 1/2 mile from the border into Canada.

I've visited this dealer when I was up in Toronto for a play last fall. I'm glad I kept her business card. I believe Ty is trying to recoup his clientel in Canada. The Duty Free stores have had pretty slim pickings these last couple of months.

This is our way of thanking you.”  Check out the Web site and message boards for more retailer banter and chat.
