New Bern, North Coralina was founded by Swiss and German immigrants in 1710, named after founder’s hometown Berne, Switzerland. “Bern” is an old Germanic name for bear, thus the bear becomes the city’s symbol. There are about 50 fiber class bear statues in Great New Bern area. The New Bern downtown has 27 of them. Each bear was adopted by different organization or group. The bears were hand-painted and have a theme desired by the owner. For example, there is Police bear in front of Police department, a harvest bear at the location of farmer’s market, and a resort play themed bear in Fairfield Harbor resort community that I stayed for my vacation. During 2012 bear city bear hunting, I collected totally 14 of them. So this bern bear hunting mission has to be completed sometime in the future. How lovely the bear is. :-)))))
