Last Chance for Harvest Fest Prizes!

Yes, it is true. The Harvest Festival is almost over. You have until Monday evening, September 10th to finish collecting caramel apples. Make sure you don't wait too long to trade your apples to the Scarecrow at Harvest Grove for his prizes. When he leaves, he will take his prizes with him.

I will be posting all the information you need about the Follow the Arrow contest on Wednesday. I know a lot of you have been trying your best to figure out what this contest is all about, and you won't have to wait much longer. I think you are going to like it!

Party on, Pandas!

Pictures from Blazing Hot Red Day!

Hi friends!

Wow, your pictures from Blazing Hot Red Day last Thursday were so blazing hot that I almost needed a fire extinguisher! I've posted the pictures you sent in an album on Facebook. You can click that link to see them, even if you don't have a Facebook account.

There were so many awesome pictures sent in that it was hard to pick just a few to feature here on my blog. I've been keeping track of who has had a picture featured on my blog, and I try to mostly pick pandas who haven't been on my blog before. That way, more pandas get to say "I've been on Henry's Blog!" Check out these cool, blazing hot pictures!

Lisiana has had a picture on my blog before, but I just had to share her REALLY red treehouse with you! I'm still trying to figure out what she used on the back wall behind the peppers. Amazing!

I'll be announcing some events for September and October soon, so keep reading my blog for updates! And keep on collecting those caramel apples for your Harvest Festival prizes. Harvest Fest ends next Monday, September 10th.

Party on, Pandas!

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!

It's Free Elite Member Day!

From 12:01am Pandanda Time until 11:59pm Pandanda Time (that's Pacific Time in the USA!) today, everyone who logs into Pandanda gets the Elite Member experience for free**! Why? Because it's Free Elite Member Day!

You can use your Pandanda coins to buy anything at the Clothing Co. on East Market Street! Decorate your tree house with furniture from the House & Tree catalog, and unlock your tree house to have friends over! You can adopt a pet dragon from the Pet Shop! And you can even buy a Horse Companion from Questy, if you have reached a high enough Quest Level! 

Free Elite Member Day, and the second day of Harvest Festival! It's going to be a great day!

 **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.

Fall into Harvest Fest!

Pandanda's 3rd Annual Harvest Festival has begun! When you log in today, you will see harvest decorations all over Pandanda land. You will also notice caramel apples popping up. Make sure to click on every one you see, so you can add them to your collection.

When you have at least 25 caramel apples, pay a visit to the Scarecrow in Harvest Grove to trade them for his prizes. You can even visit the Scarecrow before you have any apples, if you just want to check out what his prizes are.

And make sure you have your music turned on, so you can hear the cool tunes that are playing especially for the Festival. If the music makes you want to dance, head on over to East Market Street. There is a dance-floor set up there, and fresh apple cider from the apple press if you get thirsty!

Get out there and have fun!
Henry

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!
