Behind the Scenes – Summer 2023 – AdventureBearInDepth

Little Rock

There was some controversy amongst the team as A.B. waited for word at the Arkansas Capitol Building. Did Sarah Huckabee Sanders have an appointment that was running long? Was A.B. being disrespected? Is the fact that parking near the capitol grounds is only $.50 per hour (the finance team shouts “Hurray!”) the reason the state can only afford a projected image of the State Seal on the capitol floor?

A.B. can be patient for only so long. There are any number of other capitol buildings on his schedule for the summer. (Stay tuned!)

Ohio, wherever the capitol is located

Adventure Bear is not one to complain, but the working conditions on this trip so far have been somewhat daunting from a weather perspective. It has been difficult to dress accordingly. Below see pictured a small bear bundled up in his trailer and waiting for his photo shoot at the Ohio capitol building. It was wet and chilly, and neither A.B. nor his Agent had appropriate outerwear.

On the way to Cooperstown, NY

We stayed in an interesting airbnb on the way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. First of all, it appeared to have Holy Water stations in the stairwells – pretty unusual! (And while we know the Red Sox aren’t doing that well this year, A.B. doesn’t care for the implication.)
