Do you have any beloved stuffed animals sitting around your home?
You might be able to win a contest with them—Gracie’s Tax Bar in downtown Phoenix is hosting a stuffed animal competition tomorrow.
The contest will have five categories:
- Bigger Is Better
- Most Loved
- Best Backstory
- Rare Bear
- People’s Choice
Each category will have 10 spots, and it’s first-come, first-served to enter. Since it’s at a bar, you have to be 21 or older to take part.
The contest is free to enter, and it’s one entry per person. The bar notes that keychain plushies do not count.
While this contest doesn’t have a big cash payout (see the recent Rafi look-alike contest), Gracie’s gift cards and merch are on the line.
I would probably bring in my penguin Pillow Pet named Tebow. In high school, my friends pooled together some cash to gift it to me, so it means a lot—and it’s still cute despite over 10 years of wear and tear.
What stuffed animal would you enter in the contest? Let me know at [email protected].

Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
