Item Description
ABOUT THE BEAR:
“Mountain Park Bear is folk art, decorated in acrylic paint with several layers of protective clear coat. I chose Mountain Park, the once popular amusement park on Mt. Tom, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, for my theme as it provided nearly a century of summer memories for this region. It is also a tribute to those of us who donated to save the original 1927 Philadelphia Toboggan Company Carousel, folk art at its best. PTC #80 was one of the premiere attractions of the Mountain Park Midway. Relocated to Heritage State Park, in Holyoke, the Carousel continues the legacy of Mountain Park for kids of all ages.” -
