First Post! January 3, 2020 - The Grolar Bear Day!

Hey Shacknews, it's time for First Post! Let's officially kick off our day of posting. Please take a look.

IT'S THE GROLAR BEAR DAY AT SHACKNEWS!

I saw a thread from The Grolar Bear on our Shacknews Chatty forum about how people never want to celebrate his birthday because it is too close to New Year's Day. I think that is balderdash and I am putting a stop to that now. Let January 3rd always be known as The Grolar Bear Day here at Shacknews.com. Happy Birthday!
