Two artifacts from the Disneyland Country Bear Jamboree. The first is the cover to the press kit for the opening of the newest land at Disneyland, Bear Country. The front cover features the wonderful Marc Davis drawing of the Five Bear Rugs. Unfortunately all I found was just the cover, none of the interior press releases or images. The second piece is the no strollers sign that once was outside of the Country Bear Playhouse. This is the second version of the sign, the first stating Country Bear Theater. I do like the bear faces for comedy and tragedy at the top. This piece was removed when the demolition for the Winnie the Pooh ride was started and a dealer friend of mine had many signs. (Sorry about the slight out of focus on the piece.)

Arrrgh! Where was I when these signs were for sale? Pretty cool.
I'd love to find one of those press kits! As for the signs, they are probably out of my league!

Tell us! Tell us!
I've never heard this one...
Hey Patrick - I gave away a copy of a similar press kit to Paul J. Barrie for use on his Country Bear Playhouse website. It had tons of information inside, not only about the bears, but also about the architecture, landscaping, themeing, costumes, etc for Bear Country.
I checked his website today and he lists it as a 70's manual (coming soon). I wonder why it is not posted, that was several years ago?
