Gummy Bear Commercial Filming at Jerusalem Mill
Part of the Kingsville park will be closed to visitors May 11-12.
Along a walkway at Kingsville's is a small blue sign that reads, "This site scheduled for filming May 11-12. Please plan to visit other areas of the park on these days."
Behind it were dozens of people—men, women and a smattering of children. Many were hauling film equipment, moving lights or setting up tents. Others were reading or chatting at picnic tables.
When asked what was being filmed, a worker smiled and responded, "A gummy bear commercial."

Several of the on-site workers carried Haribo branded folders and a large display of Haribo Gold-Bears Gummi Candy rested inside of a general store stage set. Founded in Germany in 1920, Haribo is the world's largest manufacturer of gummy and jelly candy.
A representative of TBC, a Baltimore-based advertising agency and public relations firm, informed Patch that the filming was not open to the public.
