It is with deep sadness that Friends of the Forest must announce Eeyores Birthday Party 2020 is canceled.

Eeyore says “Oh Bother.”

This year is a stranger than ever Eeyore’s Birthday (number 57). The Eeyore’s herd of participants, volunteers, vendors and organizers will come together separately in the magical virtual world.

After 56 continuous celebrations of the uniquely Austin Texas spirit, we will meet online and that’s stranger than we ever imagined.

To preserve the Eeyore spirit, herd and kindness, we ask you today to post/give your best pictures on our FaceBook page AND consider a donation to our loyal vendors.

The following are our faithful vendors that would have fed the herd this year. We encourage you to show your pride and, on Eeyore’s Birthday (April 25th 2020), donate as you are able. The community’s need continues so please help your herd.
