Teddy Bear’s Parachute Jump – Teddy20
CALLING ALL TEDDY BEAR’S AND THEIR OWNERS FOR THE TEDDY BEAR PARACHUTE JUMP!
Sign up and bring your best dressed Teddy to the Blandford Fire Station on Saturday 20th August, help get them into a parachute and then watch as the firemen launch your teddy bear from a tower, in an effort to make Teddy Bears fly!
It’s £2 to jump and there will be small prizes for the longest flight and best dressed bear. Certificates for all jumping bears and their owners. Repeat jumps are just 50p. If you have raised sponsorship for your Teddy they get to jump for free! Sign up/Sponsorship forms can be posted to you (if local) or sent via email.
Picnic refreshments at Angus Wood, (2mins from fire station) will be on sale during the event so be sure to pop up, you might even find Mr Bear in there.
Come along for a family fun day, support our local fire station, Blandford Environmental Trust, Teddy20 and the brave jumping teddies on the day.
