– -A bear walked into a beer department in Wisconsin…no, it really happened last Thursday! The 125-pound black bear wandered into a Hayward grocery store, went up and down the aisles, and then decided to check out the bruin, going into the beer cooler in the liquor department, and climbing twelve feet up onto a shelf!
