The 41st annual Teddy Bear Parade is returning to downtown Gresham and is expected to be fun for all ages. Everyone, including participants and spectators, is encouraged to bring their teddy bears and join in celebrating children in our community.
Joe, Gloria Eggers, and her family, along with several employees participated in the parade. Joe drove his 1915 Ford Brass Era Model T, smiling, waving, and honking during the parade for the children. Employees drove the decorated junk trucks, which also had teddy bears hanging all over them. The kids really enjoyed the train whistle and the Klaxon hand-push ooga horn.
