This last bear will remain a perpetual part of the festival instead of being auctioned off. "Celebrity Bear" is slated to be carted around to fairs and other local events to continually promote the Black Bear Film Festival. This excellent idea was dreamed up by Painted Bear Coordinator Carol Baker of Dingmans Ferry. In the past, artist Baker created the Native American-inspired "Zuni Bear" in 2003 & "Picasso Bear" in 2004. She teamed up with another former entrant, Rosemarie DeVries, to produce the festival-promoting bruin on all fours called "Celebrity Bear." DeVries created the "Biker Bear" in 2004 after discovering the Black Bear Film Festival when her husband Michael (owner of "Signs on Anything" in Branchville, NJ) designed the filmstrip ironwork that hangs outside the festival’s office.
