A sketch painting contest was held during summer vacation. We are currently holding an ``Exhibition & Popularity Contest'' by displaying submitted works in front of the ticket office.

If you look closely at the work, you can see things like fish and bears painted in rainbow colors. It was the same last year. ``Year, children's sensibilities are amazing.Do they look rainbow colored?''Fish are always depicted in works painted in rainbow colors.

I didn't really pay attention to it. But maybe, just maybe... ``The fish swimming in the pond are rainbow trout.'' I think this is because the breeding staff say so. Rainbow trout = rainbow colors! I realized that.

I was a little moved by listening to the staff's story and painting it in rainbow colors.

The weather has suddenly gotten cooler, so the bears are moving around energetically. In Hokkaido, a commercial for a stove has started, and I think a commercial for studless tires will start soon.

Everyone, long sleeves are a must when visiting Bear Mountain!
