I had started thinking that daily life in Bearhampton (the peaceful and lovely little village of Bearshire, where I live) had become a little too monotonous and people tended to lose motivation in remaining active and fit.

So I decided to do something for the well-being of my community and I found an empty farmhouse near by which seemed to me very suitable for my project.
After some work of renovation the Violet’s Saloon was created!

Welcome to the opening night!

As some of you might remember, I have always liked dancing, all kind of dances are ideal to keep my elderly body active and dancing is the best gymnastic I know.
When I was young and I travelled, even though never as much as my beloved nephew Frimpong Bear, I had spent a certain time in USA and I had…hum…a loving friendship with a certain Bill, who claimed to be a great buffalo hunter, while in reality he was not able to catch anything at all and it was me the one who tried to teach him to shoot at least a little enough to be engaged later in a circus, but this is another story…

Anyhow, during my, hum, friendship with Bill I got familiar with a specific kind of saloon dance and I have decided to take good advantage of my past experience and to show all of you that, in spite of my age, I’m still slender enough to perform.

If you are by chance in Bearshire, you are welcome to visit my saloon, beer is free.
