DAY 10 LOCKDOWN - GIANT HAYBALE TEDDY BEARS

At Waipu, about 40 kms away a couple built two large bears out of hay bales  They are 4m tall.  Doug's youngest daughter takes the mail to Waipu every morning and sent us this photo.

The couple who built them had seen them in the States and decided that they now had time to build them.  They had not heard about the Bear Hunt at that time but they have been very popular.

  1. Those teddies are so creative and bring a smile to the face. I love the way people make things out of hay bales, it is always interesting to see them as one travels around the countryside (when one can!).

  5. Nice. Here they try to recreate old black oil drums; they're very realistic too!
