    How about the Genuine Women's Music Festival Kit and Actionfiguredolls?
    
    There'd be the Security Person, complete with flashlight.
           (battries not included)
    
    A full stage set-up, with microphones, spotlights, amplifiers,
    and Performer Action Figures with Guitars (batteries not included)
    
    Attendee action figures with little tiny earcuffs. Little tank tops
    and blue jeans sold separately.
    
    Little tents, Rv's, signs to delineate the different areas. All
    sold separately, of course.
    
    And the whole thing would be waterproof so it could be set up in
    the tub inorder to have the Genuine Rainstorm effect. Little
    plastic packages of Genuine Festival Mud, sold separately.

DE, you left a few ESSENTIAL things out:

Accompanying all Performer Action Figures with be the

Tops???!! on a warm summer day? :-)
    
>    Little tents, Rv's, signs to delineate the different areas. All

Also the childcare area, wheelchair ramps, and (in no particular 
order) the Crafts, 12-step, Political, Information, Women of 
Color, and Video tents.

Let's do it, DE!  Of course, it means being on the road all 
summer :-)

         I want to buy a stuffed bear or rabbit.  I know lots of
         places sell stuffed animals but I'm looking for a "special"
         animal to be my friend when I go to a workshop in a few
         weeks.  I would like to shop in the Boston area but do not
         want to run all over town looking for the place that sells
         the right animal. 

         I'm looking for recommendations for brand names and places
         where you have bought your special animal.

         Thanks,

    I've found that GUND, APPLAUSE, and DAKIN make great stuffed animals.
     And one of the neatest places I've found to get them are "Windor
    Button Shop"s.  
    
    -Jody
    

    I third the vote for Gund -- they appear to be well made and are
    appropriately squishy. there's a great toy store that carries a
    large selection of gund animals in porter square near Bob Slate's
    on Mass Ave.
    
    liz

    call around....and ask for a stuffed bear called 'Oatmeal'....
    It's truly a special little guy

    And Dakin makes a neat gorilla (forgot it's name); it has one
    of those so-ugly-ya-gotta-love-it mugs.

Joan Fortmiller, a friend who used to work for Digital, now runs a small
stuffed bear specialty business from her home in Hudson MA.  It's called
the House of Bears; she can be reached at (508) 562-4849.

Although her business is mostly mail-order oriented, she will deal with
you in person if it's convenient.  I've never visted her operation, but
from what I've seen of the catalog it appears to have just what you are
looking for.

    When I was expecting my first baby, I bought (thru my secretary, who
    dealt with Joan) a GUND Snuffles (white, too soft to describe, squishy)
    bear and Larry the Lamb (adorable, large, wonderful).  They both cost
    just under $20.00 apiece.......  I only waited a week for them, too!

    There's a  store in Fannuel hall (and presumably elsewhere) called
    "The  Bear  necessities" which has a wonderful collection of teddy
    bears.  I don't remember if they have other stuffed animals, but I
    don't think that they do.

--David

    Timmy the Bear and I have been together for ever almost....
    
    My favorite place for stuffed animals is "Geppetos" There is one in
    Pheasant Lane Mall in N.H. and I think In the Burlington Mall in
    Mass.

    Nancy,

    What about trying a "Google"?  It's a new type of huggable stuffed
    animal that conforms to your hug!  It has these two warm soft-looking
    eyes, a large soft bill, and two flipper-type feet that will cover
    up its eyes.  The fur is a shake-out kind and can sit around with
    its eyes covered looking like a big fluff ball.  It also comes as
    a dog shape.  I got the biggest one that Unlimited Expressions in
    Marlboro, MA had for $28.  It is soooo much fun to look at and play
    with and cuddle.  It's washable and shaking it out is sooo much 
    fun.  It's so unlike any other stuffed animal I own.  It took me
    several months to decide to invest that much in a new friend but I
    am glad I did....it really reminds me of my long-haired cat curled
    up.  "Google's" are imported from Canada.

    It really is hard to describe the appeal of a "Google" but once you
    see one, you will know what I am trying to describe.  It really is
    "special"!

    justme....jacqui

    ps....another place to try for Gund animals at good prices is Marshall's
    or TJMaxx....also, Rachell's (a children's discount store...whether
    there is one other than Westboro on RTE. 9, I don't know but maybe any
    of the real active mothers of this file can help out there)

    Re: .19
    
    The Bear Necessities store in Quincy Market closed years ago.  I
    think they had another store on the South Shore, but I don't
    know where.  What a shame.

    I love my Snuffle-bear, but the black covering on his nose has
    worn off to reveal -- white plastic.  Sigh.  Now when I shop for
    bears and such I look for durable noses made of leather or 
    heavy embroidery.  My Gund Truffle-bear's leather nose is wearing
    quite well.
