EEyore's Birthday

Also on April 26 is Eeyore's birthday. If you want to attend the biggest birthday party dedicated to a donkey, you need to go to Austin, Texas for Eeyore's Birthday Party. Each April, Austinites and visitors gather in Pease Park for live music, drum circles, outrageous costumes and an extra dose of Austin weirdness, all to celebrate Winnie the Pooh's companion. LINK

Winnie the Poo

Honey is a natural flavor as any Poo Bear knows. A.A. Milne's book, Winnie-the-Pooh, about the adventures of his son, Christopher and his stuffed animals made its debut on this day in 1926. The great actor Sterling Holloway was Winnie's voice for years, among the many other voices he did for Disney.
