Painted Bears

We were in Cherokee, NC recently and among other things, we saw a collection of painted bears all over the town.  The Cherokee Bear Project was started as a way to showcase some of the local artists and all together, there were 18 bears that were individualized and mounted throughout the town.  We didn't find all of them, but we got these.
