If you find that your city is not yet participating in a bear hunt, you can get the bear party started yourself. Start by setting bears out in your own home and try getting a few friends or family members to do the same.
If your town uses NextDoor or has a Facebook group, share a post stating what a teddy bear hunt is and encourage others to place bears in their windows so local kids can search for them. If not, you can share via your personal social media and ask friends to spread the word.
Don't forget to snap a few photos so everyone can see what you found.
