Teddy bear hunting

Mahatma Gandhi once said, “In the midst of darkness, light persists.” These words ring true when describing the residents of Linden, and one resident, in particular, has been inspired to bring a little bit more light during what seems like dark times. JoAnna Duncan, owner of the Olde 1852 Market Company has brought a little light to Linden in the form of a teddy bear in her store’s window. The goal is to give kids something fun to look for as the ride by with parents. It’s a hands-off way of spreading joy. Duncan encourages other shops around town to participate in ‘The Great Bear Hunt’. Inset photo is the Cass County Sun’s bear.
