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!
