Costa Mesa, CA -- June 2003-- The end of June is always a landmark experience for California based Herrington Teddy Bears as they make the annual trek to Rosemont, Ill. for the International Gift & Collectibles Exhibition. Having celebrated fifteen years in business last summer, Chris Herrington, founder and head artist at Herrington Teddy Bears, is very excited about the future of his company.

Most recently, Chris Herrington gave life to "signature" teddy bears Harry and Hannah Herrington when he signed with National Book Network to distribute their children's book series, The Adventures of Harry and Hannah. The first book in the series, Harry & Hannah: The American Adventure, was co-authored by Chris Herrington and Jean Lubin with illustrations by Jorge Pacheco. The "official" book launch is set for September at bookstores nationwide but Herrington will debut the book as a special "early bird" release at the Rosemont show in June.

" We are very excited about this year's show," said Herrington. "We look forward to seeing our collectors each summer and meeting all the newcomers to our club. We have lots of new bears and exciting happenings to share with our retailers and collectors this year!"

Collectors filled Herrington's booth last year and are expected to be lined up again this year at booth #905 for Herrington's personal signature. Retailers will undoubtedly be stocking their store shelves with the hottest Harry & Hannah plush products, from key chains, to backpacks and 18" collector edition bears for the upcoming holiday season.

Herrington is known for pioneering the "Signature" plush category. Currently selling in more than forty countries, Herrington co-brands his plush with high profile global brand names like Hard Rock Cafe & Hotels, The Cheesecake Factory, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Cartier, Mercedes-Benz, Notre Dame University and hundreds of Colleges and Universities around the United States and more.

The IGCE Show is scheduled for June 27-June 29th, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The retailer-only (trade show) hours will be Friday, June 27,2003, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Consumers roll in beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, and can continue to shop all day Saturday and Sunday.
