Going on a bear hunt? Tell the Icon where you've seen one

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 7, 2020 - 10:57am

Send the Icon addresses where you've seen a bear in a window. If you can take photo of it, even better. Send to: [email protected].

It's a great distraction for bored children – or for bored people of any age.

'We're Going On A Bear Hunt" has hit Bluffton. The Icon is aware that someone has hidden stuffed animals along the Augsburger Road bike path. Becky Cox says she's identified six. 

Certainly viewers are aware of other bears showing up around Blufton.
