The first issue of "Bear Facts" celebrated the Cinnamon Bear's 50th birthday in 1987.

THE BEAR BRIGADE is, simply, an unassuming fan club for the hero of the 26-part Christmas radio series, THE CINNAMON BEAR, created in 1937 by the late Glanville T. (Glan) Heisch. The series is so popular that I believe it has played somewhere in USA every Christmas holiday season since then.

For newcomers to the show. Just how THE CINNAMON BEAR story unfolds in the 26 episodes of this 63 year old children's radio drama. Please read the synopsis which you will find so fascinating that you will want to download the complete series immediately!!
