Isn't that cool? I also can't believe there are only four months left! It went by so fast! Don't you think?
Stay cool!

Blazing Hot Red Day!

Hey Panda Pals!

The Harvest Festival is going strong! The Scarecrow at Harvest Grove has some super Harvest Fest prizes for you. Just collect the caramel apples you see around Pandanda, then trade them for the prizes!

If you have pet dragons, you will want to make sure to get the Dragon House to put in your treehouse. You can even get more than one, if you want (and if you collect enough apples!)

In case you haven't heard, the clothing catalog was updated on Sunday with some end-of-summer items. Summer is winding down, and the weather will be turning cooler soon, so take advantage of the hot summer Pandanda days to show off some new warm-weather fashions!

Speaking of hot, I've decided that Thursday is Blazing Hot Red Day! Go through your closet and put on your red Panda Paint, and all of the red clothes and accessories you can find. Then get together with all of your friends and raise the temperature with all of that red-hot redness!

If you take a cool picture of the fiery fun, send them to me at screenshots@pandanda.com with RED DAY in the subject line. I'll choose some of the reddest to feature on my Blog!

Be Red Hot but don't lose your cool!
Henry

Isn't that cool? Comment on this post and see what you think!

Get Ready for Free Elite Member Day!

Hey there, friends! It is almost time for Free Elite Member Day. That's right, this Saturday, August 25th, everyone who logs into Pandanda will get to enjoy Elite Member benefits for one whole day**

So, what can you do on Free Elite Member Day? You can head to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street, and spend your coins on anything in the catalog. You can decorate your tree house with furniture from the House & Tree catalog, then unlock your tree to have your friends over for a fashion show or party.

If you've always wanted a dragon for a pet, you can buy yourself a dragon egg from Izzy at the Pet Shop on West Market Street. After just six days, the egg will hatch into your very own dragon! And if you have reached a high enough Quest Level, you can even buy a Horse Companion from Questy!

You can earn coins for shopping by collecting fruits, veggies, coconuts, mushrooms, gemstones, and recyclables, then selling them to the vendors around Pandanda. You can also catch fish and sell them to Fishy Joe. You can even earn coins by completing Quests!

Free Elite Member Day is for one day only, starting this Saturday at 12:01am PST and ending Saturday at 11:59pm PST, so mark your calendars! And don't forget - the Harvest Festival starts on Friday!

**Non-Elite pandas will get to keep all the Elite items purchased Saturday but will not be able to use them after Saturday without an Elite Membership )except on future Free Elite Member Days). Questy’s Horse Companions are Elite items. Dragon eggs will remain in your tree house, and will hatch later in the week.

Big fun Next Friday!

It's almost here, it's almost here!!! What am I so excited about? Well, the Pandanda Harvest Festival, of course! It begins this Friday, August 24th and goes until Monday, September 10th.

During the Harvest Festival, Pandanda will start to look and feel a bit like my favorite season of the year - Autumn. The leaves will be turning gold, and the Pandanda citizens will decorate with scarecrows, bales of hay, and banners. There will even be an outdoor dance floor set up at East Market Street, just right for some dancing with your friends!

And let's not forget the most fun part of Harvest Fest - collecting Caramel Apples to trade for exciting Harvest Fest Prizes! You can collect Caramel Apples all over Pandanda (except in treehouses), then visit Scarecrow at Harvest Grove to trade your apples for his prizes.

Pssst......here's a bit of news that I know everyone has been anxious to hear - there will be a Clothing Catalog update sometime this weekend! Get ready to go shopping!

Party on, Pandas!
Henry

Big fun Next weekend!

Hi Friends!

I know a lot of you have either already started back to school, or you soon will be. I hope you all will have a wonderful school year, and will learn lots of new things that you can use for the rest of your life!

I wanted to make sure everyone has marked their calendars for two exciting events next week. On Friday the 24th, the annual Pandanda Harvest Festival begins! The temperatures in Pandanda land will start to cool off, and the beautiful colors of autumn will be seen all over the island (well, except for Coconut Beach - it's always tropical there!) You will start to see yummy caramel apples appear on the ground, but don't eat them! You'll want to collect them to trade for exclusive Harvest Festival prizes!

On the the very next day, Saturday the 25th, another fabulous Free Elite Member Day is planned! Free Elite Member Day (or as we like to call it around here, FEMD) is a day where everyone who logs in has full access to Pandanda's Elite Membership features for that day. You can buy anything you want from the catalogs, decorate your treehouse and have friends over, and even adopt a pet dragon from the Pet Shop.

It's gonna be fun!
Henry

Isn't that cool? This is gonna be so awesome!
Peace!

New Pandanda Forums on Toontask!

Hey Panda Pals!

I’ve got some cool news for you! There is now a special Pandanda Forum on the Toontask.com site! You can check it out by clicking here. You can also find it listed in the Blogroll.

You will need to make an account for yourself on Toontask.com before you can post in the Pandanda forums. You can use your Pandanda name if it is available, but make sure that you do not use your Pandanda password.

After you log in, you can even change the theme of the whole Toontask site to Pandanda! Just scroll down to the very bottom of the forum page and look for Change Theme in the left corner.

Once you have registered, make sure to add your panda to the database. You can find it in the top menu of the blog, where it says Characters. You can include your Quest Level and the number of Quests you have completed. You can use the database to search for other members of the forum. That’s a really cool feature of the forum!

Of course, make sure you read the Policies and Guidelines and Posting Rules for the forum. The ToonTask.com site and forums are geared towards young children so, just like on Pandanda, all content posted on the site must be appropriate for young children, even if you are older!

I will be making an account there very soon, and so will a Moderator or two. I hope to see lots of my friends on the Toontask Pandanda Forums!

Party on, Pandas!

Wow, what a weirdly wonderful Wacky Wednesday it has been! You pandas really know how to put together some seriously silly outfits!

It is not too late to send in your pictures of you and your friends in your most outrageous clothes. Just email your best picture to me at screenshots@pandanda.com. I will put them in a photo album to share with everyone!

Here are a few of the pictures that I've already received today. Check these out!
