FOUR 2005 Golden Teddy Award Winners for Robin Rive!
Imagine Robin Rive's surprise when not just one, but FOUR
of their special bears (William Shakespeare, Lili Marlene,
Horatio Nelson and Oak) were awarded prestigious Golden
Teddy Awards as voted upon by the US public. Robin excitedly
journeyed to Washington DC to exhibit at Teddy Bear Review's
Washington Doll and Teddy Expo in August. There, she was
thrilled to accept not one but FOUR awards! The winners
walked up onto the stage to receive their magnificent
diamond-shaped crystal awards and it was commented
that Robin Rive "should have moved her table on stage
to save her the journey of collecting four consecutive
awards!" The weight of the awards exceeded Robin's
travel allowance back to New Zealand! "Well worth the
eight thousand mile journey!", she commented, "Winning
FOUR Golden Teddy Awards in one year could well be
a record so now we are just waiting on the results for the
US Toby awards with paws crossed!"
