SHELBURNE, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bernie Bear officially enters the Presidential arena after formally announcing his campaign in Burlington, VT. Drawing a non-politically charged parallel between the Bear and Senator Sanders, Vermont Teddy Bear refers to the Bear as "ready to hit the campaign trail" and "a passionate, blunt speaker." The look-a-like Bear has unruly white hair, glasses and arrives wearing a suit, tie, white shirt and campaign pin.
"We just couldn't resist," says Bill Shouldice, President and Chief Executive, Vermont Teddy Bear. "Given Senator Bernie Sanders' well-known affinity for President Theodore Roosevelt, and our products' tie to the former President of the United States, it seemed only natural. Teddy Roosevelt is where the Bear legacy began. He even carried one with him on the campaign trail! And, it was deemed cool."
Every Bernie Bear is made to order. Vermont Teddy Bear is not saying how many of the Bernie Bears it's planning to sell, or whether Bernie Sanders will carry a Bear with him on the campaign trail. But like all of its 15-inch Bears, the Bernie Bear is handmade in Vermont using 100% recycled stuffing. It receives free universal Bear Care at its Teddy Bear Hospital. And it's guaranteed for life.
