There was a certain magic in the air at the Bears’ Den on Friday, Feb. 23.  Maybe it was the Peewee B Bears in attendance, maybe it was the many families with their kids, or maybe it was just the good mood all around. In any case, the Smiths Falls Bears delivered a solid 4-0 win against the Navan Grads.
