Sponsors needed for bear project

It’s not lions and tigers, but bears that will be invading the Dry Ridge Fire House on March 28.
For the third time, the Dry Ridge Fire Firefighters will join forces with the Dry Ridge Elementary Reading program for the Build-A-Bear Drive.
Through donations from businesses and individuals, the firefighters along with students and volunteers from Dry Ridge Elementary sponsor and stuff bears for patients at Shriner’s hospitals.
Last year, 100 bears were distributed to children on Easter morning.
The bears cost $10 each and can be purchased through donations and gift cards. Checks should be made payable to the Dry Ridge Firefighter’s Association and must be received by March 26.
Bears will be stuffed and boxed from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 28 at the Dry Ridge Fire House.
