Bearly Square holding RARE Bear event

A Havre quilting supply store is looking for volunteers to make teddy bears Saturday for children afflicted with rare diseases.

“It’s a day of community service, but you are doing it on a bigger scale for a bigger organization,” said Wendy Gerke, owner of Bearly Square Quilting at 109 1st St. W.
