Celebrate Eeyore’s Birthday in the Austinot Podcast, Ep. #8

It’s time to celebrate Eeyore’s Birthday Party! This annual event at Pease Park is in its 49th year and getting bigger and better with age.

Throw on a costume for the costume contest, bring your canine friends, and get the kids ready for sack races and face painting. Non-profit vendors will provide food and drink.

These are only a few of the exciting things you’ll experience at Eeyore’s Birthday.

This year, park for FREE at the State parking garage E and lot 3 on Colorado, between 16th and 17th streets. Shuttle busses will pick you up there and take you to Pease Park, and return you to your vehicle when the fun is done. The shuttles will run all day long. There is no parking available at Pease Park, so don’t try!

Proceeds from this event go to approximately two dozen Austin non-profits. This year, a few of the organizations receiving donations are:

• Austin Humane Society
• Breast Cancer Resource Center
• Family Eldercare
• Newspapers in Education
• Sustainable Food Center
• Workers Defense Project

And many more!

Hop on over to Eeyores.org for more information. Or leave a comment here and we’ll do our best to find an answer to your question!

This is going to be a great event and we hope to see you there.
