Many of you know that our staff cares deeply about the community in which we live. We are involved in a number of different organizations outside of the store and it is time to shine the spotlight on our fearless leader, Becky Philipp-Kranig. As a proud graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Becky enjoyed a career in large retail business before joining her mom, BJ Shawn, as a partner in Bearcub Outfitters in 1998. Here, they were able to create a store that encouraged families to get outside together, while also supporting the community in which they lived. Becky has served on the board of the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society (from whom she adopted her two current furry family members), and the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce. She is also an active supporter of the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council, Camp Daggett, Little Traverse Conservancy, Public Schools of Petoskey and the Petoskey Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation. In her spare time, she enjoys camping, hiking and spending time with her amazing husband and children. Thank you, Becky, for all you do to support our community!
