I could take Mr. CTB around and visit some local Charlottesville attractions. The UVA rotunda, or Monticello perhaps.
During the school year, I could take him to Emily Dickinson’s house and grave, and the pinnacle of education that is Amherst College. During the summer, I could show him where the Battle of Plattsburgh took place, the tumultuous hockey arena where the US and Russia played their landmark game, Ben & Jerry’s factory in Burlington, etc.
Sounds like fun!
Well, I’d love to be the first to show CTB good ol’ VT, but I am in NY for the summer, and I don’t think I’ll go home just for CTB (sorry, but gas costs too much money now.)
Oh…upon reading the rest of the thread, I see that NightRabbit might be able to sneak into VT for a bit. That’s good. (oh, and not to nipick, but the B&J factory is in Shelburne, not Burlington. :))
I’m still willing to take him, of course. I can show him around the campus. Hell, if I end up doing that research this summer, maybe I can give him a tour of one of the labs, clean suit and all! (Hmm…do they make clean suits for bears?)
I already took UnderWear Bear around Edmonton. Sounds like the Bear is already going to Edmonton, but I’d be more than happy to join in the sight seeing/picture taking when he gets here.
Oh shoot. And I just noticed that my husband is logged in. Darn. Well, I’m posting this anyway.

Well, lesse…since Cecil The Bear’s planning to stop in both Fall River and Amherst, I would be very happy to host him in the Boston area!
Oh, there’s so many sights for him to visit, never mind the photographic opportunities! 
Plus he’ll become very well versed in American History 
E-Mail to be sent very shortly…
Does CtB want to see Minnesota? We’re having a dopefest June 1, if you get him to me by then I’ll take him along. I doubt I could get him a meeting with Jesse, but other local sites might be interesting.
E-mail following.

May I be the first to suggest a visit to the Left Coast?
Kathy and I would love to host the bear for a few days - don’t know of any dopefests going on around here in El Lay, but we’d be happy to take some “candid” photos of CTB around the area.

I want MY picksher taken on a tank! D00D!

Opal, you wanna grab a shot wif da bear?
WOW!
Three Dopefests, a wedding, a trip to Australia and maybe one to Quebec . . jeez, I’m jealous of my own bear.
Okay, bear goes in the mail sometime this week, so if anyone else would like to be in on the original routing, please respond – and the more the merrier. I would love to have CTB meet as many Dopers as possible.
One caveat – I think it only makes sense to send him to one Doper in a particular city, rather than mail him around the same zip code. I will send him to the first Doper responding from any given location, and then if that person wants to get together with other Dopers for pix and a tour, that would be awesome. But if he or she would rather just mail the bear to the next destination, that’s fine, too. I don’t intend to leave anyone out, so if anyone objects to this plan, please let me know.
Okay. At Punkyova’s suggestion, she’ll get da bear for the Minnesota Dopefest, then send him to Lucretia for MountainDope, to be handed off to Iampunha for Airman’s wedding and possibly DopeRenFest. If that’s okay with you, 'pun, I need your IRL information. The bear will prolly go one or two places first, but hopefully be in Minnesota by the end of this month. (Which is why he needs to hit the road this week, if possible.)
I will try to get CTB to as many people as possible. If they are still interested, I need real names and addresses by e-mail from:
rocking chair, bobkitty, purplebear, iampunha, Arwen, matt_mcl, screech-owl, NightRabbit, bouv, lolagranola, CanadianSue, kiz and Rico
TheLoadedDog, CTB is definitely headed your way, though I’m not sure when just yet. Anybody know if any EuroDopers would like to host him after he’s seen Australia? Any other Aussie Dopers want to put him up? Let me know!
Thanks for playing along, guys; I hope it’s fun for all.
Plenty of picturesque things for bears to see here in Korea. I’ll send you my mailing address.
I’ll take the CTB around ohter parts of Colorado. He could vist lovely Boulder, downtown Bailey, Fairplay, Como (including the Como Roundhouse) and the Conifer Safeway (center of the universe).
It’s a shame CTB can’t make it to me before 1 pm Saturday. He could go to the Thankyou Fire Fighters parade in Bailey. But if he can get to me before summer has ended, I’m sure there will another Thankyou Firefighters parade he can attend. A picture with CTB and some smoke jumpers would be cool.
The email is on it’s way.

There’s room for him in Prince George. I can take a picture of him in front of Mr. PG, the City Mascot (a large, somewhat scary statue). If he makes it here by August, I’m sure that there will still be snow too!
My e-mail is on it’s way and should eb there faster than a yak in heat
eb=be
The yak in heat part still stays though.
CTB is most welcome to come enjoy the beautiful Finnish summer… I could take him on a tour of downtown Helsinki, see all the sights, go eat somewhere nice, all that. As an added bonus, he could accompany me to our summer cottage and spend an evening relaxing in a sauna…
If punha and I are both going to be at the NYC-Renfest-Dopefest on August 3rd, he can give Cecil to me, because I’ll be attending the Bamadope on August 10th.
Dang. Purrplebear’s already got him for San Antonio and punha’s bringing him to the wedding (glad to see you can make it!).
FairyChatMom, if you want, you can send the Moose along, and we can have her at the wedding.

oooooooooo - I’m sure Miss Moose would LOVE coming to your wedding…
E-mail dispatched.
