Are We Bear Yet?
An event filled with live music, arts and crafts vendors, games and activities for the children, a chainsaw woodcarver and lots of friendly folk!
A new addition to the festival in 2017 are the Shriner Clowns that will be entertaining and making balloon animals for children in the library courtyard at 11 a.m. These fun guys give of their time in order to help children in the Shriner's Hospitals. Come out and enoy them during the Great Delta Bear Affair!
The Sharkey Issaquena Academy Beta Club students partner with GDBA to obtain sponsorships for the Teddy Bears we take to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital during festival week. You can sponsor a bear for $10! See a SIA Beta Club student to do so.
Visit to Blair E Batson children's hospital
Once again, our favorite archaeologist, Sam Brookes, will be leading tours of 3 Prehistoric Mound groups during the Great Delta Bear Affair. Meet at the Rolling Fork Visitor's Center at 10 or 2 to take part in this great tour.
Since the Great Delta Bear Affair is just a few days before Halloween, this year we're having a Costume Run. Put on your favorite costume and take part in this fun 5K! (you can walk it also)
Elvis has not been at the Great Delta Bear Affair for the past few years, but we are excited to have him back for the 2017 festival on October 28. Make plans to be here and catch a scarf!
