Bearfest 2005
Grand Inn
3221 Plainfield Rd. NE, Grand Rapids, MI (Map)
Those who attended last year’s event in Lansing may
remember what a great time it was rubbing elbows with
all those other woofy bears.
Well this year, Bearfest 2005 has moved to Grand
Rapids and promises to be even bigger and better (if
that could even be possible) with more bars, more
activities, more bears… the works!
