Winnie the Pooh Day

Cumberland Park is transforming into the Hundred Acre Wood to celebrate National Winnie the Pooh Day! Wear or bring your favorite Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals to celebrate. Parents, charge your camera and bring it along, Winnie the Pooh will be in attendance during the event for photo opportunities!
Winnie the Pooh Day features indoor and outdoor activities. Indoor activities include coloring pages, table top games and light refreshments. Outdoor activities include the chance to build an Eeyore House from sticks, explore real animal artifacts, share a story at the 100 Acre Wood story nook, and play the popular game, Pooh Sticks!
Winnie the Pooh Day isn’t just about games, it’s also an ideal opportunity to explore our vibrant environment here in Fishers, and some of the real life inspirations for A.A. Milne’s most famous characters. Those attending are encouraged to share posts using #FishersPoohDay!
Heart Hikes
Feb. 5, 1-5 p.m. & Feb. 6, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Fishers is a community buzzing with energy and momentum, but sometimes it’s important to slow down for a moment of peace and quiet. Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve is the perfect venue to escape the stresses of everyday life and get lost in the beautiful scenery.
Coordinated with HSE Schools’ 2016 calendar, Heart Hikes take place on a half day, allowing students, faculty and others in the community the opportunity to participate. Hikes are free to attend, and anyone is welcome to stop by during the program. Photographs of natural hearts found in everyday life will be placed throughout the preserve offering a self-guided experience complete with a campfire at the shelter and hot chocolate to warm up. Heart Hikes welcome individuals embarking on a solo-serenity hike, couples enjoying time together, the business community during their lunch break, and families seeking quality time together.
