Attention Massapequa Park shoppers! There is a bear on the loose in Massapequa Park and her name is Rosie the Park Teddy Bear. Every week Rosie the Bear will be displayed in a selected merchant's window who is a member of the Massapequa Park Merchants Association (MPMA). She will be displayed near our MPMA window sign. When you tell the merchant you have spotted our bear, that merchant will either give you a discount on items or services purchased or they will have a special free gift for you or they may even have a raffle for a big prize! If you don't spot Rosie by yourself, watch the newspapers for this column and look for the clue or ask a MPMA member store as to where Rosie the Teddy Bear will be staying.

So remember - be on the lookout for Rosie the Bear - you can save a lot of money when you shop where Rosie lives.

Carol Leff, president
