Designer Brieanne Hauger of Cowpainters, LLC, the fabricators of Boyertown's Bear Fever bears, outdid herself in creating the custom mold for "Bearianne," the Bear Fever community art project's latest addition to the collection.
Artist Jeff Graber of Graber Letterin', outdid himself in meticulously painting the sculpture created from a photo of the late Mayor Marianne Deery, Boyertown's beloved mayor, in her Oktoberfest finery.
"Bearianne" is sponsored by Marianne's husband Frank who has eagerly anticipated her arrival in time for the 2024 Oktoberfest celebration in Boyertown--September 13 and 14.
More information is forthcoming about Jeff Graber and Brieanne Hauger in future editions of The Boyertown Area Expression. Stay tuned. But we couldn't wait to show off the first glimpses of this extraordinary sculpture!
Thanks, Bob. Love these.
And now I know the Schmidt haus.
Fascinating research. Would love to learn more.
Thank you for this information. Wendel (correct spelling) Renninger was my 8th generation great grandfather. I’d be interested in any other information your research may have turned up on him.

Excellent! Thanks.
