2 shows, 14 min, full stage. This man has seven full grown bears, two cubs and two ponies in his troupe. They ride bicycles, wooden horses and breakfast, manlike. It is quicker in action than most bear acts and went very well today. Will try to get the children in during the week by putting it on after school hours.
