TED SD

You Know The Bear. You Don’t Know The Story.

TED.

A president who wouldn’t pull the trigger. A cartoon that wouldn’t stop spreading. A name that wouldn’t let go — for 120 years, and counting.

A president said no to a bear.

A toymaker said yes to a name.

And San Diego throws it a party. Twice a year.

Turns out, this Ted was a president. One drawing changed everything. There’s a ballgown involved. Also a bear. Wait — Keanu Reeves is in this? This Ted is R-rated. There’s more than one.
Save The Date

The Teddy Ball. November 28.

Dress up. Bring your bear. Miss it, and San Diego will be talking about it all year.
