Lions, tigers and bears oh my!
Or more like, bears, elephants and alligators oh my! at the Bearaside Ranch Bear Preserve's Country Bear Christmas Dec. 15.
At the ranch, families were able to participate in activities such as pony rides, face painting, viewing the bears, elephant rides and visits with Santa.
