Picnic time for teddy bears

Wednesday was the day the Teddy bear’s had their picnic, joined by families of young ones for a day of enjoyment at Berwick’s Old Cheese Factory.

The Casey Teddy Bear Picnic, which was cancelled for the past two years due to the Covid pandemic, was back bigger than ever, with over 1200 residents attending the event with their teddy bear friends.

Young families packed a picnic to enjoy a lovely day out, filled with live performances, and a teddy bear’s hospital to make sure their stuffed animals were happy and healthy.

City of Casey manager of Active Communities Angie Peresso said the picnic is an opportunity for the council to provide a fun and accessible event for the community.

“The City of Casey has been running the Teddy’s Bear’s Picnic at The Old Cheese Factory in Berwick for five years, providing the community with a low-cost opportunity for families to connect, belong, learn and play,” she said.
