A special Sanibel Festival musical fable By Frank Wagner Islander staff writer Once upon a time, actually it was in February, 1994, the Ted Bear family from upper Michigan was totally bored with its long winter's hiberna- tion. Poppa (Ted) and Momma (Thermal) Bear, plus the two baby bears, Tom and Tad, and tante Grizaberra, longed for spring to arrive so they could get out and about. Then a strange and magical thing happened. The post-bear-man braved the snow and ice and was finally able to get through to RFD 1 in Hibernation, Mich. He delivered a brochure from The Sanibel Festival, addressed to the Ted Bears. There was a personal, handwritten letter attached. It read: "Dear Ted and Thermal: We'd like to take this opportunity to invite you and your family to flyUSAi r (the official airline of the Sanibel Festival), and come on down to Sanibel Island for a little warm climate, culture and lots of the clas- sics. You simply must be present for Bach on the Beach at Gulfside Park Sunday, March 6. This is the Sanibel Festival's annual gift to the community and it will begin at 1 p.m. at the park on Algiers Beach off Casa Ybel Road. The featured musical group for the afternoon will be The SunCoast Brass and the stars of the afternoon will be you and yours - the dancing bears. You'll be asked to do an interpretative dance routine to the SunGoast Biassi*. special arrangement of 'The Teddy Bear's Picnic' Signed: Mary and Maurice." The Bear family, left to right, Tom, Ted, Tad, Grizaberra and Thermal, await the Start of the Bear, er, Bach on There was also a P.S. that read: "Plan on being the Beach concert Sunday, March 6. our guests for the month of March.
