Has Friday come around again already? Where does the week go! We've been beary beary busy here at Teddy Bear Times making the finishes touches to issue 194, and it will be off to the printers early next week.
We've got some brilliant bear artists profiled in this issue, an album devoted completely to your bears on holiday, plenty of great features, AND (my personal favourite) a great competition! Keep your eyes peeled in the magazine/Facebook to find out more.
As promised last week, it's Friday again which means the weekend is almost officially here (for us it's at 5.30 when the Teddy Bear Times office closes!). So, what are you doing this weekend?
Well.. I have a couple of beary things you COULD be doing!
If you're a bear lover with kids, why not take them down to Sheffield city centre, to the Sheffield Food Festival where they are running their very own Teddy Bear's Picnic. It's the perfect family event, and it's completely free. It's running from 2.30-4.30 and is being held in the Peace Gardens. There will be other activities including story telling, and the chance to decorate your own cupcake.
If that's a bit too far north for you, there's also a lovely event being run in Ellingham, Hampshire over the entire weekend. The Great Ellingham Teddy Bear Festival has a teddy bear's picnic taking place on Saturday with a teddy slide, craft stalls, an art exhibition and much more. All proceeds go to local groups and the East Anglia children's hospice. The fun even continues on through Sunday. Both days run from 11-5.

Have a lovely weekend, let's hope the rain stays away!
