Eeyore is the grumpy donkey in the classic children’s tale Winnie-the-Poo.
He mopes around so much that his buddies throw him a birthday party to cheer him up.

Well, even bat workers can get a little mopey when things don’t go well for bats.  And bats have hard lives.
This year, the local non-profit organization The Friends of the Forest Foundation cheered up Austin Bat Refuge with a wonderful donation from the proceeds of Eeyore’s Birthday Party!
Thanks so much from us at ABR to this wonderful organization that has been giving back to the community for decades!

Wow! This brought a huge smile to all our faces!  Love you all!
Please join us all in cheering up Eeyore again next year on April 27, 2019 (always the last Saturday in April).
Next year’s event will be Eeyore’s 56th Birthday Party!
Please bookmark eeyores.org, put on a costume (or nothing at all!) and meet us there!

Thank You Lori Moore – and all the good people at FotFF for the very generous donation!

 


Brushy Creek Bat Fest was fun!

It was great to see the enthusiasm of all the young bat fans!  This one came decked out in all her best bat finery.
Love the bat berrettes and the Vampirella shirt! She loved Kyndal and her little free-tailed bat pup!

Here’s how the day started.

“Hey Taz!  It’s Brushy Creek Bat Fest today!  Let’s go show the kids how cool bats are!”
He was a star!  And he got 998 likes on Instagram!  What a great bat! Can’t somebody give him just a few more likes?
