Here's a little history before you go.

Eeyore's Birthday Party, now in its 59th year, was started by Lloyd Birdwell in 1964 to celebrate the birthday of the "Winnie-the-Pooh" character. If you can recall, Eeyore complains that no one remembers his birthday. The first parties were just Birdwell and his friends, but now the event draws hundreds to Pease Park to dance, play, and do drum circles.
