In 2000, the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper voted the Hamm's Beer bear a runner-up in its "150 most influential Minnesotans in the past 150 years" contest.. So, who won? :) RickK 02:17 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I would assume 150 real people won, although I have to admit I didn't read the article that closely. *grin* - Hephaestos 02:19 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Oh. A runnerup. I read that as the runnerup. :) I thought he was number 2 on the list. Shows what happens when you're on too late at night. :) RickK 03:06 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I love the Hamm's beer bear! Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy....and buzzed! :)

Hamm's Bear at the Detroit Zoo?

I am new to discussing things on Wikipedia, so please forgive any potential faux pas....

I was just at the Detroit Zoo, and there is a black bear on display there who had been rescued. According to the Detroit Zoo, "Hamms the bear" had at one time been a mascot for Hamms Beer. When he was two, he was sold to a private individual in Iowa. For twenty years, he was kept in a small cage in the backyard and had been tormented by trespassing vandals. Hamms had even been stabbed in the nose by a pitchfork. The bear bit the owner and was to be destroyed, but an animal welfare organization; along with the Detroit Zoo stepped in and pleaded for his release. He is now learning to do basic bear activities at the zoo, alongside a couple of female bears.

Is this something that should be noted on this page? Thanks!Gretchen1111 20:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

==To do for the Anishinaabe project==

Considering this is a beer information and not specifically an Anishinaabe information, as far as the Anishinaabe project is concerned this would be a stub and that's OK. However, here are two thing that can be done to make it a bit more full.

what Ojibwe band/community was desJarlait part of?
make the red entry (no article) become blue (article)
