A Visit with Peter Renaday — Pete’s Special Message

Our day was winding down, and our time with Pete was coming to an end, but one last surprise was in the works...

Our good friend Rufus “just happened” to be on the Disney lot that day, and he saw us as we were walking out to take a group photo at the ”Partners” statue. He was as excited to see us as we were to see him. We grabbed a quick photo of the six of us, and also one of the “less known, but just as cool” statue of Roy and Minnie.

Rufus and Pete had a great time chatting about the time they had spent recording the bears back in the “good ol’ days.” As for Patrick and I... we just sat back and did our best to take it all in.

Alas, it was time to go...

Pete’s Special Message to Country Bear Fans

Our day came to an end as we thanked Peter for giving us one of the best of presents, and we told him that we hoped we could see him again soon.

I asked Peter as we stood in the visitor lot if he would like to record a greeting to Country Bear fans all over the world. He jumped at the idea saying that he very much appreciated all the folks who have supported the Country Bears through the years.
