Disney Bear Visits Children at Ft Irwin Childhood Development Center

FORT IRWIN, California, Wednesday, May 25, 2005 . . .
The engaging 7-foot-tall Bear of Disney Channel's "Bear in the Big Blue House" made a special visit to warm hearts of kids at a preschool on Fort Irwin's U.S. Army Base (near Barstow) today. The base is the nation's principle training environment for soldiers deployed to Iraq.
Bear also visited one of the children in their home on the base as part of the new nutrition and healthy lifestyle series, "Breakfast with Bear," premiering during the Playhouse Disney block in June on Disney Channel.
Photos feature the Emmy-Award winning Bear (Disney Channel's "Bear in the Big Blue House" and the new upcoming short-form series "Breakfast with Bear") with U.S. Army Spc. Holly Jensen and children of Army personnel at the base's Childhood Development Center.
