Event organizers said those bears will go to children in the hospital, youngsters who are dealing with a traumatic event involving the police or fire department, and serve as Christmas presents for seniors living alone in assisted living facilities.

Among the activities at the event were a motorcycle run, music from the rock band Over the Edge, tattoos and piercings from Ink Attic, a dunk booth, silent auction and even Champion Midget Wrestling matches.
