Well, actually, they selected their titleholders to serve during that period: Brian Lavallee was dubbed Mr. Oregon Cub, while Rob Hathaway was chosen as Mr. Oregon Bear. Generally speaking, Bears are big gay guys— often with copious body hair— and their admir ers. T he Oregon Bears club has more than 200 members. Throughout the year, it sponsors a number of social activities, including bowling, beachcombing, eating and roller-skating. Members also donate time and money to an array of charitable causes, including Esthers Pantry, a food bank serving people living with H IV and A ID S, and Pride of the Rose Scholarship Fund, which provides education- related financial support to queer folks and their children. Proceeds of Camp Oregon Bears ’98, which is scheduled to occur Sept. 18 through 20 on the Oregon coast, will benefit the Coastal A ID S Network.
