This week was our final week of the Bear Naked New England Summer tour. We had an amazing time this summer and I hope all of you who stopped by our tent for a snack or a grocery bag enjoyed our presence too! There were a lot of familiar faces at these last couple events, with multiple people telling us they had seen us at different events over the summer and were excited to see us again!
Friday we went out to the last Bike Friday at the City Hall Plaza in downtown Boston. This terrific green initiative is supported by the Mayor and Hub on Wheels, and it encourages commuters to ride their bikes in to work instead of driving! We were excited to make it out to the last Bike Friday of the season and hope to join in the fun again next year!
Sunday we wrapped up the tour with one final event up in Kennebunk, Maine- the Fireman’s Triathlon! It was a gorgeous day and we had a blast serving parfaits and snack packs to the participants and the enthusiastic crowd! At first the free pancakes served by the American Legion seemed a bit tough to compete with, but as tales of our free parfaits and shopping bags snaked through the crowd we soon had people running up to our table in droves! One woman even exclaimed that her “daughter is ignoring her pancakes and eating my parfait- I came back to see if I could get her one of her own!” We of course obliged and were happy to serve her, her daughter, and the rest of this great crowd!
So thats about it folks- thanks for helping us make this summer truly awesome! As we always say- keep Living Bear Naked!
Peace
Lindsay and Jim

Fun community events this week in Boston. We went out to BSSC’s soccer league playoffs night in Winchester for some awesome kicks, laughs, and snacks.
Sunday we went up to Byfield for the North Shore Cyclists Blazin’ Saddles Century Ride. It was a hot and rainy day, but the riders toughed it out and rocked the 100 miles! We were there for the post-ride picnic to provide snacks and all of the riders were excited to carry around their brand new Bear Naked reusable grocery bags that they had just gotten as registration packs!

Saturday we went out to Rhode Island to support the swimmers of the Save the Bay swim event! The swim benefits the Save the Bay organization which works to protect and preserve the Narragansett Bay. The swimmers swam from Newport to Jamestown in a 1.7 mile swim! We were there for the picnic afterward where our parfaits, snack packs, and reusable grocery bags were a big hit!
Sunday we went out to Bridgeport, CT for the Parkcity Mossman Triathlon. The sun rose over the beach as the swimmers prepared to get the race started! We were there serving Bear Naked granola and yogurt parfaits, and the grocery bags we donated as runners bags dotted the landscape! It was a rather perfect setting for a Tri, and being right near Norwalk, CT (where Bear Naked was originally founded) we chatted with a lot of folks who knew Bear Naked well and a few of whom new Brendan and Kelley personally!
