Polar Bears and Penguins


This float of critters was sponsored by Hudson's Bay stores (who own Zellers stores) and features an unusual mix of species don't you think?  It is hard to see but the penguins are wearing skis and the polar bear has skates. Hudson's Bay like Canadian Tire yesterday is another very old Canadian institution with stores across the country and a long long history as a trading post in the 'olden' days.

Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.

  5. How beautiful! I haven't watched a parade like that in years. I did go to our golf cart parade this week though! Merry Christmas!

  7. Your week of parade photos is a lot of fun! It’s always amusing when you see representations of polar bears and penguins together. They could hardly live further apart. Puffins would be more plausible. Nice pictures.

  8. Who doesn't love dancing Polar Bears and Penguins on skies? The Teddy Bear looks a bit alarmed, but I think he will get over it.

  9. Hello :=)
    We don't have any parades like that with floats here, but I wish we did. How delightfully amusing to see these cute creatures dressed for cold weather in skates and ski's. Thanks for sharing.
