Grand Opening Celebration Today at Build-A-Bear!
10 a.m:
We all waited patiently and excitedly to enter the New Build-A-Bear at the Del Amo Mall! There was the Build-A-Bear Workshop Mascot, Bearemy to keep us all entertained and the amazing Balloon Artist!
Then there was the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony! Local children (and their parents) were then invited in to make bears to donate to Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles. These bears will be distributed to local children in needs of a teddy bear hug! The First 100 Guests were invited to make these special bears.
A fun morning was had by all! My son really enjoyed his experience of creating his own Dog and also a bear to be donated! This really was a fun morning! What really impressed me was how friendly all the employees were at this Grand Opening!
