Getting Ready for the Show

Rufus begins each day with a complete check of the grounds, making sure all signs and exhibits are in tip-top shape.

Rufus checks the Country Bear Playhouse entrance sign.

Next is a full lighting and sound check. It is Rufus’s job to make sure the many different lights and things work as designed, so that none of the bears are left in the dark during the performance.

Rufus checks a stage light before the performance.
