Asbury Woods is set to host its second annual Winnie the Pooh’s Asbury Adventure Fundraiser Presented by Erie Insurance at the Andrew J. Conner Nature Center on Saturday, September 20, from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. The event is a day full of dancing, discovery, and celebrating with Winnie the Pooh and his friends as they visit the Nature Center and the surrounding 234-acre woods.
Families will have the opportunity to learn, explore, and play at stations designed around each Winnie the Pooh character including Eeyore’s Water Cycle Room, Tigger’s Dance Party, and, new this year, Christopher Robin’s Scavenger Hunt.
There will also be snack station and variety show, plus a daylong basket raffle with all proceeds going back to Asbury Woods. This event will be fun for the whole family!
Tickets for the event are $22 per ticket (tickets are required for children over the age of two and for accompanying adults). Tickets can be purchased on our website at: https://www.asburywoods.org/events/winnie-the-poohs-asbury-adventure/
“This event was so fun last year and it promises to be even better this year! We've had a blast combining the classic Winnie the Pooh characters with Asbury Woods' locations” stated Asbury Woods Executive Director Sarah Bennett.
