I just returned from a multiple day visit to Build-a-Bear Bearquarters in St. Louis where I met Maxine Clark, many other Build-a-Bear Staff members, a great kid by the name of Zack Bonner, Zach's Mom Lori, and several wonderful bloggers.
I can't wait to fill everyone in on all I learned about the Build-a-Bear company and the people behind it. While there I was able to tour the executive offices, hear from Maxine Clark and several other employees on a range of topics including charity initiatives, upcoming product previews, a commitment to children's cyber safety in relation to buildabearville.com, and much more. I even attended a charming backyard BBQ at Maxine's home.
My trip ended at the nearby mall where we visited a
Build-a-Bear Workshop and attended a Build-a-Bear party where we made a bear of our own to bring home. I look forward to sharing more details about this trip with you soon. A huge bear hug to Build-a-Bear for inviting me to this wonderful connecting event.
