Bear on right. About the size of a large, male Black Lab.

A grocery store in Hayward, Wisconsin had to be evacuated Friday when a 125 pound black bear decided to do a little shopping in the liquor department.
The bear walked through the front door of marketplace foods and headed straight for the beer cooler in the rear of the liquor department.
The bear climbed up 12-feet onto a shelf inside the cooler where he decided to sit for about an hour.
Customers were evacuated from the store as animal officials tranquilized the bear and took it out of the store.
The big bear was said to be very tame and content.
And store officials say it didn't even help itself to any of the drinks during its stay.
Lil bebbeh bear ...
It’s a good thing the bear didn’t down a couple of cases. I hear bear are nasty drunks.
This seems somehow like a new ad campaign for Hayward Grocery Store.

Scrappleface? Or was this a Hamm's commercial........
Did someone chase the bear back to Frisco?
Come one come all see Smokey or Yogi bear it all.
Ping-a-Ling!
From the land of Sky Blue Waters...That’s Hayward, WI! :)

Remember the recent dog who went into the store and snagged a dog bone and split.
That was back when I was in grade school.
:-)
Uh, sure ... :)
A bear, a giraffe and a penguin walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What is this, some kind of joke?”
:)
I used to love those commercials when I was a little kid.
Where's muh beer! Boy this place is cheesey!
Stop me if you've heard this one before,
Bear Wanders Into Hayward Grocery Store ...
...to see what he could see.
“Loon” brand wine?
(the big sign in the middle island...for $6.99)
Heck, I think I’d laugh as I bought a bottle of that.
Even just to put it on my kitchen shelf for decorative display!
Maybe he just wanted a cold one while watching the game.

Thanks for that link to the beer run song, Diana.
BTW, about 3 years ago while we were visiting WI, we picked up a station on our rental car that had some unusual songe. One of them was “Beer Run”, but it was not the version you have posted a link to. I have googled it, but I have not been able to find that one.
Smoking Loon wine. Sold all over da place. ;)
"And my buddy the bear was a' missin'... yeah, you want to know somethin' else friends and neighbors, so was that still."
“A bear and Diana in Wisconsin walk into a bar...”
What is this? Some kind of a JOKE? LOL!
Wait. Wait. There's a typo there somewhere.......
:-)
One of my dobermans weighs a bit more than that.
Cute pic of the bear in the store.
Maybe he was looking for some Cheezy Poofs, the ones that Cartman likes....
In other Wisconsin news....the SUN was shining today...
“A grasshopper hops into a bar. The bartender says, ‘You’re quite a celebrity around here. We’ve even got a drink named after you.’ The grasshopper says, ‘You’ve got a drink named Steve?’”
That’s pretty much a Wisconsin joke. If anyone else from anywhere else ‘gets it’ I’ll be pleasantly surprised! :)
There’s this guy who shows up at a cabin where these hunters have gathered to hunt bear. Only he shows up without a gun.
The other hunters are very curious. “How you gonna get a bear without a gun?” they ask.
“Do you have a knife?”
“No,” says the guy.
“Do you have a club?”
“No,” says the guy.
“Don’t you worry. I’m gonna get myself a bear. Just wait right here and see.”
The guy leaves the cabin and disappears into the hills for several hours.
Eventually he happens upon a bear asleep in his den and he kicks the bear and gets it really angry. As the bear wakes up, he starts to chase after the guy, so the guy starts running back towards the cabin.
Finally the hunters hear him running down the hill and yelling, “Open the cabin door! Open the door!”
They open the door and the guy runs into the cabin and holds the door open behind him. To the terror of the other hunters, an angry bear follows close behind, running into the cabin, too.
Then the guy slams the door shut, and says, “You skin that one. I’ll go get another one!”

Wasn’t that the one about the penguin that has car trouble, takes it to a garage, then walks across the street to get an ice cream cone? He goes back to the garage and the mechanic says “looks like you blew a seal”.
Watched that one on Utube, funny. If this bear was easy to move, maybe it was drunk.....
You always give me a belly laugh.....
Wayword in Haywork Hey?
A hairy kind of chunky animal walks into a Wisconsin store and makes a beeline for the beer aisle?
How is this unusual compared to one of their typical customers?
THE. BEST. JOKE. EVER!!!!!
We go to Hayward every summer and have been to this store several times. It must have been something to see.
