Hunt for “Bears” in Calhoun County

Driving around Hampton, you may start to notice teddy bears out in people’s yards or windows. This is what is now known as a “bear hunt.” Other cities throughout the country are joining together for this “hunt.” A Hampton resident, Candy Calloway, started this trend after seeing it online in Little Rock. It gives kids in the community an opportunity to get out of the house without leaving the vehicle. You drive around neighborhoods and search for teddy bears in people’s houses.

Calloway said she started the teddy bear hunt for her son’s seventh birthday. She asked on her personal Facebook page for people to help making her son’s birthday special by participating and hiding bears for him since they couldn’t go anywhere to celebrate. Calloway was amazed at the response she received.
