Bright Star Promotions, Inc. presents the . . .
 
12th Annual Tampa, Florida
 

The stars, our amazing teddy bear artists, were definitely shining their brightest on February 18, 2018 at the Crown Plaza Westshore.

The elegant ballroom is an ideal setting to feature all the bears and a great place to welcome our collector each year.  

 

As you scroll down the page, you'll remember all the fun you had; chatting with the artists, seeing all the unique bears and winning door prizes.

 

 

Before the show opened, Valerie Rogers, the show promoter,
presented Isabella Hoffmann a special framed certificate.

 

Her bear was selected for the collector's invitation postcard.

 

Congratulations Isabella!
 

Meet the Stars of the Show!

 

Is a certain bear still lingering in your mind?

 

Contact the artist to see if it is still available or they might even
have enough materials to make a similar one for you!
