The annual P’town party may get more attention, but if you think about it, bears are probably more in their element in forested Connecticut than the shores of the Outer Cape. This weekend, hosted by the Northeast Ursamen, will bring the bears to the quaint Nutmeg State town of Rocky Hill, where hirsute gents and their admirers will enjoy activities like bear yoga, a vendor fair, panel discussions, dinner and brunch. If you want to get your paws on some big-city action, take note: Saturday night brings the bears to gay bar Chez Est in Hartford, for a bear contest and silent auction.
