Meet Our Mascot


Hi Puzzlers

We thought you might enjoy meeting our mascot "Whitney".

Whitney has been with us for years. This year she has been especially friendly and has been spotted and photographed several times. Some of her appearances have been made with her two cubs! On one special trip out the gang went over to Kim's house causing the area dogs, to bark and bark for over 5 hours as Whitney circled the neighborhood. Why was she circling you ask? Well Whitney had scooted her cubs up a tree to keep them safe and when she felt the coast was clear she had them come down. The cubs were so well hidden no one even knew they were there!

The Jackson New Hampshire area is well known for it's black bear activity and almost everyone has a story. Here are a few of our own.

Alicia's brothers house-siding was torn off when a bear thought it would look under the siding for some ants. Ted's son Colin went to put trash in the dumpster, as he was about to lift the lid a bear flung it open...from the inside! YIKES! My neighborhood was struck by "Bugsy" (pictured bottom left) he would break into to our cars and houses stealing any and all food. He would fling flour, spices and trash around just for fun. The authorities, after numerous attempts, finally caught him and he is now doing time in the Canadian Wilderness.

We love our bears!
