In 2003, Dean's celebrated their 100th birthday. To mark the occasion, a massive Jamboree was held at Cardiff City Hall on the 29th of June. Over 1500 bear lovers enjoyed the festive occasion with raffles, dance troupes, live music, and bear stalls.
Retailers who made the journey to take their bears to the Jamboree were awarded with a very special opportunity to offer their customers the lovely 100th Birthday Bear, a 12" tall fully jointed bear made of medium brown mohair. On his paw pad the date of the Jamboree is embroidered in burgundy, and a burgundy Dean's Centenary ribbon is tied around his neck.
Appreciative of the fact that not all bear lovers were fortunate enough to travel to Cardiff and join in the celebration, we obtained a few extra bears to offer our customers. Available only while supplies last!
