An 80-pound black bear found hiding under a honeycomb shop at the Colorado Renaissance Festival was safely removed by wildlife officers and Douglas County deputies on Sunday.
Deputies found the “uninvited guest,” a black bear festival attendees named Smoky, camped out under a building at the festival grounds in Larkspur, the sheriff’s office said in a post on X.
The bear was content to rest under the honeycomb shop and even found a ball to play with until Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers arrived to remove and relocate him, sheriff’s officials said.
