“The Hugely Huggable History of the Teddy Bear.”
Our speaker will be Dr. Gillian White, who will discuss “The Hugely Huggable History of the Teddy Bear.” Dr White has given us a very entertaining talk in the past about “The Field of the Cloth of Gold”. The talk will delve into the enduring legacy of the teddy bear. While many toys have come and gone, the teddy bear has captured the hearts of children and adults for over a century. Developed by toymakers in the U.S. and Germany in the early 20th century, the teddy bear has remained a beloved companion and symbol of love and affection.
In this engaging talk, Dr White will explore the rich history of the teddy bear, highlighting its connection to notable figures such as King Edward VII, President Teddy Roosevelt, Prince Andrew, and Gyles Brandreth, the renowned author and entertainer.
Rotarians and guests are invited to bring their own Teddy Bears, as this gathering promises to celebrate these beloved companions
