East Philadelphia Avenue Shared Bear - Boyertown, PA - Bear Statues on Waymarking.com

Dutch Bear is the combined efforts of nine businesses located on East Philadelphia Street in Boyertown. The artist, Grace Pirog, is also one of those owners with her business Gracefully Framed. From the Boyertown Bears website (visit link) "

“Who’s going to paint it?” East Philadelphia Avenue businesses asked. Grace said she was the only artist, so “it was me.” But, she is honored, and certainly qualified to paint a Bear Fever bear. First an art teacher, then a kindergarten teacher, then a decoration store owner, Grace has always loved art. Her mission for her bear is to spread a little Dutch history, and she is going to do that with research and hard work. There are two kinds of Dutch people, she told me: simple and plain or fancy and
elaborate. Her bear is going to be fancy with intricate
designs and earth tones. She is going to have a
Boyertown Dutch bear."
