THE BERENSTAIN BEARS LIVE Successfully Completes 'Let's Move Visits Bear County'

This past weekend The Berenstain Bears LIVE! celebrated the launch of "Let's Move" Visits Bear Country with over 100 New York families who took The Berenstain Bears LIVE! Healthy Eating Pledge. This healthy eating initiative was inspired by Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign and featured a healthy snack hour, a FREE performance of The Berenstain Bears LIVE!, a post-show dance party, face painting, and photos with the Berenstain Bears.

The event was sponsored by NY Metro Parents, Theatermania, Manhattan Movement and Arts Center, and Fairway Market (who provided healthy snacks). For more information on "Let's Move" Visits Bear Country please visit www.BerenstainBearsLive.com/LetsMove.

"With the help of our generous sponsors, "Let's Move" Visits Bear Country was a huge success. Families enjoyed healthy snacks, a great family musical, and learned the importance of making healthy choices. I am very proud of what we have created and am proud to have worked with such fantastic family-focused organizations to foster a healthier generation of kids." - Matt Murphy, producer of The Berenstain Bears LIVE
