The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is launching the Sandhills Story Trail Adventures, a series of interactive displays featuring Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends that take place throughout the Sandhills. The first of three story trails will be revealed at Nick’s Creek Greenway in Southern Pines on April 11. The project is part of the CVB’s support for the Year of the Trail initiatives in North Carolina, which celebrates the state’s vast network of trails, greenways, and blueways. If you are looking for things to do with family in Southern Pines NC then the Sandhills Story Trail Adventures is a great option.
The story trails feature large, life-sized cutouts of Pooh and his friends that can be viewed in a series of stations where people can scan a QR code and read or listen to the next chapter on their smartphones. The entire story trails series was created by the CVB’s Destination Storyteller Dan Dreyer, and future stories in the series will be displayed along Moore County trails to be determined later this year.
The Year of the Trail campaign aims to reach communities with the message of how and where to experience trails that showcase North Carolina’s beautiful landscapes, provide healthy recreation, and stimulate local economies. North Carolina is the Great Trails State, with each of its 100 counties enjoying the benefits of trails, including health, safety, economic development, tourism, transportation, and environment. The NC General Assembly designated 2023 as the Year of the Trail, an effort led by the Great Trails State Coalition.
