Spring STEIFF event


Please join us for the Spectacular Spring Steiff Show!

New York City and Connecticut maybe getting snow, but ours for now has vanished.  Boston may have had a record year in snowfall and as Ohioans' we had more that our share of it.   Daffodils maybe slowly pushing their way out of the ground, and I have spotted the first robin already; but how do I know that Spring is truly here?  It isn't any of the things I have mentioned.  It is......

 The Spring Steiff Event with the ever debonair North American Steiff Archivist Dick Frantz here at Keillor's A Teddy Bear Shoppe.
11 a.m. to 2:30 with Dick Frantz
