Review:
The famous Talking Bear - Oakhurst can be found in front of the Century 21 Real Estate office in Oakhurst, California. The “larger-than-life” California Grizzly Bear replica stands proud in this small town and talks with visitors with just a push of the button below its paws. In 1963, Hugh Shollenbarger brought the bear to Oakhurst and added the talking part late after a trip to Pioneer Town, during which he discovered voice looping technology. Made out of fiberglass with a somewhat ferocious snarl and detailed beady eyes, the Talking Bear is now certified as a California Historical Landmark.
