White River's Winnie's Hometown Festival Goes Virtual

A local tradition is making a big change this year.
Festival Coordinator Brandi Greenwood explains organizers have decided to take White River's 32nd Annual Winnie's Hometown Festival "virtual".

Greenwood notes that includes a "Virtual Family Fish Derby" - simply register with the Township, then take a photo of your catches with your registration card and submitted measuring tape by 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon - with virtual cooking and art classes, a dance party, and live magic and mentalist shows all online.
There will be some physical events: drive-in fireworks at Little Lake at dusk tonight - spectators must stay in their vehicles; a "socially distanced" Winnie-the-Pooh parade at 11:30 tomorrow morning; and shopping in the park that afternoon.
Greenwood encourages everyone to participate.
