Bright Star Promotions, Inc. presents the . . .
 
14th Annual Tampa, Florida

The stars, our amazing teddy bear artists, were definitely shining their brightest on
February 17, 2019
at the Crown Plaza Westshore in Tampa, Florida.

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

 

As you can see, the Tampa event was unfurgettable!

The creativity and genius was on full display!

Bears bring comfort and joy to the old and young. Whether it is in the making, or in the sharing, a fantastic time was had by all.

We are looking forward to returning next year, and I can already see the wheels turning in the artists heads as they bask in the afterglow of the event, and begin making patterns and plans for the future.

Thanks to everyone who came, who worked hard here and beforehand, to make dreams come true. Your time and efforts are unforgettable.

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 Stephanie Tiongco a special framed certificate.

 

Her needle-felted bunnies were selected
for the collector's invitation postcard.

 

Congratulations Stevi!

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!

 

A few candid photos during the show!

 

Not all tables were photographed 
during the show.
