"Care Bears: Thirty Years of Caring...And Hugs" Family Day Celebration! July 31, 2012

Come to the Toonseum on July 7th at 1pm for the “Care Bears: 30 Years of Caring and Hugs” exhibit opening. The opening will feature a screening of “The Care Bears Movie” and you will also get to meet and get your picture taken with Cheer Bear! While you are here you can also get your face painted or have a caricature done!
The ToonSeum’s “Care Bears: 30 Years of Caring…and Hugs” exhibit comes on the heels of the brand-new Care Bears television series debuting on June 2 on The Hub TV Network. The CG animated series, called “Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot,” will feature everyone’s favorite bears in exciting new adventures in the land of Care-a-Lot. The series will also introduce a new, younger addition to the group: the playfully curious Wonderheart Bear.
The “Care Bears: 30 Years of Caring…and Hugs” exhibit will focus on the heritage of the Care Bears brand and present a retrospective of the artwork from the original greeting card art and animation art to the new CGI version of “Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot.”
In addition to the opening ceremony, the museum will also host a “Care Bears Birthday Bash” event in late summer. This will be a fun-filled event, where visitors will celebrate the return of Care Bears, enjoy themed activities, prizes, entertainment and gift bags. Proceeds from the event will go to the ToonSeum fundraising department, in honor of the Care Bears giving hearts.
