Bears of the Basin Project
3 Different Bears
Buffalo Bear Cody
Amelia Bearhart
Farmer Growl
The park County Travel Council created the wonderful idea of a bronze scavenger hunt for families. They commissioned 3 different bear sculptures- A cowboy, a farmer, and a pilot. "Farmer Growl", a grizzly bear holding beets and a shovel while wearing overalls and field boots, was created to celebrate the city of Powell Wyoming's agricultural roots. Also created were unique bears for the cities of Cody Wyoming (Buffalo Bear Cody a cowboy waving his hat while riding a stick horse celebrating the famous showman Buffalo Bill Cody) and Meeteetse Wyoming (Amelia Bearhart a pilot with scarf and goggles on head celebrating the ties to the area of Famous female pilot Amelia Earhart) to encourage visitors to explore the historic cities’ downtown areas.
