EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) - Another bear is missing from Easthampton's Bear Fest exhibit.
The city was so upset that one bear was missing that they
made up "Wanted" posters; but now that another bear is missing,
they're hoping this theft will stop.
The stolen statue's name is "Rubber Ducky, You're the One."
It disappeared on July 5th and is one of 35 fiberglass bears
being displayed across Easthampton.
On June 13, "Bearly There Bear" was stolen, and the theives
attempted to take "Rubber Ducky" as well.
So far, police have not found the bear burglers.
Those putting on the festival hope to have the bears
returned, so they may auction the statues off later.
Part of the proceeds from that auction will go to support
Easthampton Public School's Art Department.
Without those two bears, less money will go to support the
arts in the city.
