"Bearlieve It or Not," Connecticut Collaboration Uses Bear Presence as Inspiration

Using the area's recent influx of bears as an inspiration, the Northwest Chamber of Commerce (which serves northwestern Connecticut) and LARC (a private not-for-profit organization that provides a variety of services to consumers with a variety of developmental disabilities) are collaborating on an effort to boost tourism in Litchfield County. The venture has been designated as Bearlieve It or Not, and the team has invited artists from throughout northwestern Connecticut to paint blank fiberglass bears.
