Kenton County Parks and Recreation to host Teddy Bear Day at the Park at Middleton Mills Shelterhouse


Kenton County Parks & Recreation is hosting a Teddy Bear Day at the Park on Saturday, September 9 from 10:30 a.m to 1:00 p.m. at Middleton-Mills Park Shelterhouse #1.

Families pack a picnic lunch, bring a blanket, and grab your favorite teddy bear(s) for fun and adventure. Enjoy storytelling, crafts, songs, games and march in the Teddy Bear parade. Bring a new teddy bear to donate for local police and children’s organizations.

The teddy bear is one of the most popular toys for children, and holds a special place in many adults hearts, too. This lovable stuffed animal has a day all of its own, Teddy Bear Day.

It’s an ideal time to get together with others for a teddy bear’s favorite activity, having a picnic, as immortalized in the classic song, ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic.’ This was written in 1907, shortly after teddy bears were first manufactured in Europe and America. The American toy bears were named Teddy, in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt, who had refused to shoot a small captured bear on a hunting trip. Celebrate National Teddy Bear Day with a Day at the Park at Middleton-Mills Park.

Middleton-Mills Park is located at 3415 Mills Road, Covington, KY 41015.
