That male black bear that was spotted just across the Vanderburgh county line last weekend has become a local celebrity.
His image is finding its way onto t-shirts and koozies that are now for sale here and there in Elberfeld.
The bear has become almost a mascot for the town.
But that doesn’t mean he’s not getting into trouble.
Apparently an area bee keeper reported one of his hives overturned and about 20 pounds of honey are gone.
So even though the bear may be too close for comfort, local residents are coping with humor to see how long they can bear it.
