Statue Unveiled Saturday, September 7th, 2024
A Lasting Memorial in the Heart of Michigan
On July 11th, 2022 the FBD Inc organization was given permission by the Grayling City Council to erect a 7 and a half foot bronze statue of Fred Bear in the Grayling City Park. Fred Bear loved Grayling and was a pioneer in archery and bow hunting. His love for northern Michigan and commitment to conservation taught others and generations to follow, how to honor and respect the great outdoors. A monument in his honor will preserve the legend he was. In the wind his spirit is still alive.
