ProAdams Seek Sponsors for 'Bears on Parade'

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass.— The town will welcome a new kind of visitor as part of a community-wide public art program, bringing more than a dozen fiberglass bears that organizers hope will spark community pride and attract visitors.
 
"Adams Bear Zone Parade is a community-wide public art initiative that will bring painted fiberglass bear sculptures to high-visibility locations throughout downtown Adams," Kate Gigliotti, a member of the ProAdams board of directors, said during the Select Board meeting on Aug. 19. 
 
ProAdams is looking for local businesses, organizations, and individuals who would like to sponsor a bear with a one-time investment that covers two years of display.
 
ProAdams is a nonprofit established in 2012 to promote and honor the character of Adams by driving growth and creating vibrancy for residents, businesses, and visitors, Gigliotti said. 
 
It’s known for beloved community events including Thunderfest, Ramble Weekend, and most recently the holiday home decorating contest. 
 
There are three sponsorship options available: a small baby bear, medium mama bear, and large baby bear. 
 
Baby Bear stands approximately 36 inches tall and is priced at $1,500. Mama Bear measures approximately 66 inches high, 27 inches wide, and 23 inches deep and is priced at $2,500. Papa Bear, the largest of the three, measures approximately 48 inches high, 63 inches long, and 30 inches deep and is priced at $3,500.
