Yesterday was the day Tauranga teddy bears had their picnic and dozens of Bay families flocked to the event at Memorial Park.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears on Tour, a charity event organised by Avon representatives, raised hundreds for the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade and the Nga Kakno Foundation in Te Puke.
Avon district sales manager Cathe Meyer said the teddy bears' picnics were held in Te Puke, Paeroa, Papamoa, Katikati, Waihi and the Mount.
She said the feedback from the picnics had been awesome.
"We wanted to partner with an organisation like Nga Kakno which works with Tamariki Ora," she said.
