Raccoons Reimagined @ the CNE

REBEL – the Rehab Champion by LIFEspan at Rumsey Centre

The furry creature that Torontonians "love to hate" make their debut at the CNE this year. Twelve (12) three-dimensional large fiberglass raccoons decorated by persons from various abilities will greet CNE guests by the Princess Margaret Fountain.

On our most recent visit to The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), we walked by the Princess Margaret Fountain and discovered these colourful raccoons. We took pictures of all of them because they were decorated so uniquely. There are 4 days left until the CNE shuts down for another year so if you are planning to going, be sure and visit these amazing raccoons. They are very detailed both front and back.

After their visit to the CNE, these Raccoons will have new homes. They are being auctioned to raise money with proceeds going to charities. These charities aim to better the lives of people living with a disability (Toronto Rehab artists express Their Wild Side). Below are the pictures that we took of the fronts of the raccoons. The descriptions were taken from the CNE Website. The link will be at the end of this blog.
