Henry, Master of ceremonies at The Country Bear Jamboree, stands six feet tall in his stocking paws. 
He is another famous football player who entered show business. Henry was formerly with the Goose Creek Bruins. One day they tried a hidden ball play, and Henry hid the ball so well he couldn't find it. This hastened his transfer to music. For a while, he had trouble finding a melody too. 
But Henry is a very likeable sort, and audiences go for him like he goes for honey. For a finale, Henry sings "Ballad of Davy Crockett" with Sammy, his live racoon hat. Henry is glad he turned his football gear for a starched shirt and Sammy. "After all," he explains, "I never know a football helmet that could sing like Sammy"

The Sun Bonnets are the babies of the Country Bear Jamboree. 
They began singing in Public School 821 in Clint, Texas, in Miss Grizzly's class. From there they appeared five weeks running on Major Bear's Amateur Hour and were booked in to Walt Disney World. 
Backstage they study their lessons (all the cast helps them with their homework, but they get good grades anyway). In their spare time they are all knitting a scarf for Big Al, which they hope to have finished for Christmas - three years from now!

Liver-Lips McGrowl is a homebody who is never home. His career has spanned the entertainment world, and he is equally famous in radio, TV, night clubs and the circus. 
His throaty growl has captivated audiences everywhere, and he had played return engagements in such famous towns as Paris (Kentucky), Rome (Tennessee), Berlin (Wisconsin), Athens (Georgia), Cairo (Illinois) and Stuttgart (Arkansas). 
But his heart is always at home where the Miami Serenader can guzzle home cookin' and catch up on his whittlin'. He has whittled a rain barrel, a bath tub, a pig trough and a sump pump.

Wendell is a frustrated basketball player. He quit the game when in the team photograph, he discovered he came up to the other player's knees. 
He then turned to baseball, but three people stepped on him (they thought he was second base). He went from baseball to football, until two quarterbacks threw him for touchdowns. 
It was after his gridiron career that he latched onto Henry. When Wendell and Henry get together, well, nobody dares mistake Wendell for anything but what he is: a small, singing bear.

Ernest the Dude is a modern Beau Brummell, the well-dressed bear about town. 
He carries his wardrobe with him wherever he goes, which is difficult (not many motorists will pick up a bear hitchhiker with 17 trunks of clothes). He has 30 coats and 40 slacks (some of which fit), 60 shirts, 47 shoes, 20 hats, a food stained bow tiw, and a pair and a half of underwear. 
Each year when the Ten Best Dressed are announced, Ernest the Dude is there (wondering why he isn't on the list).

Terrence is better known as the "Vibrating Wreck from Nashville Tech". 
His stay at Nashville was short - the roar of the grease paint called to him, and he became an actor. He performed often with the Bearrymores. He was known throughout the Ozarks and as far north as Joplin for his tent-show rendition of Cyrano de Beargerac (he was one of the few actors who could play the role without a false nose). 
A fall from the balcony in Romeo and Juliet literally brought down the house with his ample rump. It ended his acting career (and the stage), and he turned his tights for a guitar.

Big Albert says "I was born in a cave near the Princess Theater in Pocatello, Idaho". There was music in his blood, and he's been playing his guitar since he was a child. It's become more difficult - Big Al has grown, and the guitar hasn't. 
He loves to sit in front of his cave and sing. He was the first to practice ecology; he didn't litter his cave with tin cans and paper cartons - he ate 'em. 
He was a resident bard and balladeer in the swamp before Walt Disney World was built (and three badgers and an alligator have expressed great joy that he is now singing for people). This is Big Al's 10th farewell appearance and counting.

Teddi Barra was discovered sitting on a soda fountain stool in an ice cream parlour three miles from Gentry, Arkansas. From there, her rise in show biz was meteoric, and the ravishing beauty is known as The Jewel of the Dakotas. 
Though she has always wanted to perform serious drama, her fans have never let her forget her feather boa and her parasol, both of which have been promised to the Daughters of Benton County Western Museum when they wear out. 
In Grizzly Hall she performs her famous "Heart, We Did All We Could" while descending from the ceiling on a swing. She has been called The Last of the Big Time Swingers.

Trixie is an old trouper, a veteran performer. There is nary a sourdough or grubstaker who doesn't recall her singing and dancing in the rip-roaring music halls of the western frontier. 
She has been known variously as The Calgary Charmer, Alaska Allurer, Vancouver Vamp, Bewitcher of British Columbia and Tacoma Temptress. 
As did so many folks with good sense, she visited Florida and decided to stay. She is now known as the Tampa Temptation. She spends her spare hours thumbing through the pages of her scrapbook and is planning to write a book, "I Barely Remember"

Gomer is the piano player, but he doesn't always play country and western music. His training was classical. He began pawing the ivories while a cub practiced days and nights for many years. 
Finally, he went to New York, much to the relief of his neighbours. There he studied Bearlioz, and his favourite composition was "Night on Bear Mountain". 
When he heard himself referred to as the "lard of Juilliard", he quit the concert stage and went home to the hills. He is highly regarded by the other musicians because he can play in a key other then a C.

The Five Bear Rugs began playing music together when they were in first grade. Fifteen years later they were still playing - in fourth grade! 
Zeke plays the banjo and wears glasses - he's the only one who can read music. Fred plays the mouth harp and carries the tune (his wife says Fred's lazy and a tune is the only thing he carries). Ted blows the white lightning jug, and Tennessee plays the one-stringed thing (he hopes one day to add more strings). 
Zeb plays fiddle, and Zeb's son Oscar accompanies his father on concert tours because Zeb's wife works (she models fur coats, always the same one, at a nearby boutique).
