It's just around the corners - HiBearNation - an event hosted by the Show Me Bears. It is going to take place from November 8th thru the 11th in St. Louis, Missouri.

The following is from their website: "The unofficial meet and greet party begins on Thursday. Friday evening we offer a free dinner and drinks while guests mingle. Later that night we begin our bar crawl. We finish off Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with very frisky after hours parties, complete with food, drinks and plenty of men. Donuts, coffee and juice are provided on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We'll have an optional dinner Saturday evening, just before the charity auction and an optional breakfast on Sunday morning. Join us Sunday evening for Furball followed by the final after hours party. JJ's Clubhouse & Bar will be sponsoring the 3rd annual Blue Ribbon Bear Contest, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Registered guests receive bus service to scheduled events, after hours parties with free food, drinks and more".

Lastly, Bear Crusader (TubeBear profile) - a band from Montreal - will be there as entertainment.
