Johnny Welde works with Lucy, a female brown bear, to display an American flag at a show during Wednesday's Kids' Day at the Mercer County Fair. The Welde family has had bears for 91 years, keeping them at a Florida ranch. During the summer, the Weldes take a few bears north to do educational shows. The Bearadise Ranch bears have been performing at the Mercer County Fair all week with two shows scheduled for today.
