Sub-Committees
All of the fun of the McCleary Bear Festival could not happen without the help of community volunteers who play an integral part in the planning and execution of each of these events. Together we make Bear Festival a success.
We are always looking for additional hands to help. If you are interested in participating in any of these sub-committees, please reach out to us at bearfestival@gmail.com.
