Ovation Brands’ portfolio of restaurants – Old Country Buffet, Ryan’s, HomeTown Buffet and Country Buffet – and Furr’s Fresh Buffet are teaming up with Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group and Entertainment Marketing Group (EMG) to feature a new Family Night inspired by the New York Times bestselling Treehouse Series by Andy Griffiths, illustrated by Terry Denton. The popular children’s book series is a wild storytelling fantasy featuring the author’s and illustrator’s wacky adventures in an amazing multi-story treehouse. The six-week series will kick off on Thursday, October 11, 2018. Family Night is every Thursday from 5-8 p.m. Activities may vary by location.
“Our organization recognizes the importance of literacy, especially for young children, and we are delighted to feature the The Treehouse Series for our latest Family Night,” said Mike Griffith, Director of Marketing for Ovation Brands and Furr’s Fresh Buffet. “The book series makes reading fun for kids and we’re excited to share the engaging and educational activities we have planned for them.”
The Treehouse Series follows two friends, Andy and Terry, who live in a treehouse. Their incredible treehouse, which started at 13 stories high and now has 91 stories, is always expanding and each time they add another level, new adventures await them! The series was created by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. The books are silly and stories are told through a combination of text and illustrations.
The Treehouse Series Family Night will be a six-week series and each week will feature a different theme inspired by the books, from how to build a treehouse to spiders to superstitions and more. The following are the scheduled themes.
- October 11 – Treehouse Builders
- October 18 – Moo-vie Madness

- November 1 – #13
