Here is What People Had To Say About Bear Camp 2009, Christmas In July
- This was my first Bear run, my friends had begged me to come. I wasn't sure I was going to have a good time, but once I got there. Everyone was so friendly and things so well planned I had a great time. I will be back next year.
- I have been coming to Bear camp since the first one and will continue as I always have a good time. You get more for your money at Bear Camp than any other bear event. Hands down. I have also raved about this event to other people at all other events I have attended and will continue to do so.
- Great job, CUB... thnx for all your hard work in putting things together!!!
- I had the time of my life..and meeting all you nice bears from Ohio...Next year is a must for me.. Thanks, Guys
- It was a very well organized run - Thanks for all your hard work!
