The Force bear is safely delivered to Cayden who was the winner of the “Name the Bear” at the Magherafelt High School craft fair held in November 2025.
Whilst Abigail who hosted The Force table at this event she wasn’t able to hand “McGregor” the bear over to Cayden today, but we did have Amelia Higgins one of The Force Minis on hand as she was helper on the day of the fair.👌⭐️
Cayden we hope McGregor and you have lots of fun and we hope to see you at one of events soon! 🧸
