After the success of this event in 2011, the Bear's Big Holiday 2013 is starting soon.

This is a school fundraiser for Koputaroa School (a rural school in the Horowhenua). We are wanting to raise $3000 towards iPads at our school.

You purchase a ticket (by successfully winning a Trademe auction) and then send your bear(or other soft toy) to our school (Koputaroa School) for a holiday in March 2013.

While with us your bear will get to go in a lot of cool cars - a 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, a Ferrari, a Monster Truck, a 1950 Riley RMB, a Mustang and many others.

Each bear will be returned with a Bear Passport & 3 photos of events. We will be maintaining an on-line blog and photo gallery that you can see while your bear is with us.

In addition there will be some special one-off auctions that give access to special events.

We hope you join in the fun and send your bear along.

Please note: We wouldn't recommend sending any bear who is indispensable to a member of your family (i.e. A childs number 1, cant do without special bear). In this case number 2 bear is most welcome.

We also can't take fragile bears or live animals - so no china bears, real bears or children please.

Bears must live in NZ or be returned to an NZ address.

Regarding postage - you send your bear to us at your cost. We have added a return post charge bears this year due to the variable sizes of bears sent in 2011.

Please see Store details for more information or our http://www.bearsbigholiday.co.nz website for further details and photos from the 2011 event.
