Somebody ring the bell

Ring, ring, ring! 9/9/19 The Last of Switzerland's Cowbell Makers There are musical cowbells, and then there are the ones Swiss artisan Stéphane Brügger makes by hand for actual cows to wear. Brügger's ornately beautiful creations are customized with images of the Swiss cross, a cottage, a cow and two edelweiss. The most expensive go for more than $4,000. We joined the artist in his workshop in Fribourg, Switzerland, to learn the art and craft of cowbell making. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.  The Wildest Product Testers in the Biz In Montana, the most dedicated product testers in the industry get ready to work every day. They problem solve, put their hairy, hairy backs into it and get the job done. Never mind that they're 600-pound grizzly bears. When bears become habituated to human food, they are often considered dangerous and are either killed or put into captivity. So to keep both bears and people safe, the Bear and Wolf Discovery Center in Montana uses large grizzlies to test bear-resistant products.  View this email in your browser.  Copyright © 2019 Great Big Story, LLC, All rights reserved.You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Great Big Story newsletter.
