    A two-year-old had an unexpected guest at their birthday party in West Hartford last weekend. About two dozen family members and friends were enjoying Cyrus’ birthday party Sunday afternoon when a bear appeared. Cyrus’ dad, Rauf Majidian, said children were running around, dancing to music, but didn’t expect an actual bear to show up during the track “Bear Necessities.”

    While the guests yelled at the bear to leave, he seemed unfazed, and began to eat all of the cupcakes. “A little scared, I’m a little freaked out, but everyone was safe,” Laura Majidian said. Laura explained that once the bear came out of the woods, she just started grabbing children and had “armfuls of children” to get out of the bear’s way. The bear wasn’t aggressive, but rather, sauntered over to the picnic table.


    Now, the Majidian family is worried this will be the new normal.

    Went right for the cupcakes.

    That woman is right, to be concerned the bear will come back, he probably will, he found food there once, he'll be back looking for more.

    The wildlife management people will probably relocate the bear further away from humans.

    They usually relocate bears, from what I understand. Unless they bite or eat someone.

    In the Great Smokey National Park, they have relocated some, but some have been euthanized because they became TOO acclimated to humans, and feared possible incidents of harm. Don't feed the animals.

    I understand this was not a planned incident, but the bear obviously was acquainted with humans and human food.

    I think that bear's name is Yogi. He has a friend called Boo Boo. Helping himself to other people's food is his MO.
