The Cinnamon Bear is an old time radio program produced by Transco
(Transcription Company of America), based in Hollywood, California. The
series, a total of 26 episodes, was specifically designed to be listened to
six days a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was first aired
between Friday, November 26 and Saturday December 25, 1937.
Cool here, but I must say I have warmed up some over the last several days, compared to what I was experiencing last week! Every Christmas the Cinnamon Bear, along with Santa of course, were regular visitors to Lipman Wolfe department store, downtown Portland, OR, the city in which I grew up. My mom and dad always took me to see them every year until…???. Also I want to take this opportunity to wish all “PDX Retro” readers the merriest of Christmas’s and a bright and prosperous New Year as well and thanks for looking in on us as often as you do!
