Kids: Bring your best teddy-bear pal to a "Teddy Bears Picnic Concert" Sunday at the Gordon Center for Performing Arts in Owings Mills. In honor of the teddy bear's 100th anniversary, kids' entertainer Gary Rosen will sing teddy-bear songs and more at the concert.
President Theodore Roosevelt gets the credit for starting the teddy-bear craze in 1902, after the editorial cartoon "Drawing the Line in Mississippi" appeared in the Washington Post. The cartoon, by Clifford Berryman, showed Roosevelt refusing to shoot a baby bear while on a hunting trip.
