Happy (late) Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I hope you are having a great time dancing in the streets to the fiesta music! Make sure to head over to the Clothing Co. on East Market Street to get your free sombrero. You can find it in the Clothing Catalog, along with a serape (a Mexican shawl) and some sombreros in more colors. Don't worry if you can't make it to Pandanda today. These items will be available for most of May!

Check out the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Treehouses Album! We've really got some creative treehouse decorators in Pandanda! You can still send your fiesta treehouse screenshots to me at screenshots@pandanda.com. I will be accepting them until the end of the day today, and I will add them to the album for all to see!

Party on, Pandas!

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day, and Henry has made a post ;D you can get double coins from Steve today by selling trash, I've been collecting trash since last Earth Day lol. So we should get off the computer and go out side for a bit, enjoy the fresh air, trees and grass, maybe even read a book.

---

Earth Day is a great day to start new habits that can help keep our planet healthy and beautiful. But to really help, you need to keep doing those things! Here are some easy things you can do today and everyday to show your appreciation and love for Earth:

• Reduce, reuse, recycle!
• Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth.
• Turn off lights, the TV, the computer, and other electronics when you are not using them.
• Pick up any litter you see on the ground and put it in a trash can.
• Plant flowers and trees.
• Get outside and enjoy the outdoors!

And remember, you can earn double coins in Pandanda today by selling your recyclable items to Steve McClean on East Market Street! Recyclable items like cans and bottles can be found in all the town areas of Pandanda.

Make sure to mark your calendars for another fantastic Free Elite Member Day coming up this Saturday, April 28th! I'll have more information about that tomorrow!

Reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Friday the 13th Gift Certificate Winners!

 Hi there, friends!

Sheriff Steele and I had a great time meeting and chatting with many of our friends in Pandanda yesterday. We gave out Panda Gold to lots of lucky pandas! And the luckiest pandas of them all are the 5 players who were chosen at random to win an Elite Gift Certificate. These pandas are from all over the world - Australia, Brazil, Czech Republic, Qtar, and the USA. It's awesome that Pandanda is worldwide!

Congratulations to Pandanda's newest Elite members: huglebugle12, panduzo34, sadhkeerthu, Sarka24, and WhattyWot! Each of those players had a 1-month Elite Gift Certificate send to the email address that their account is registered to. I see that sadhkeerthu and Sarka24 have already used theirs, and are now enjoying the privileges of Elite membership!

I also see that one lucky and observant panda found the Elite Gift Code that I hid in yesterday's Blog. Congratulations to lucario2915 for finding and using the hidden code. You never know when I might hide another code in my Blog, so keep on the lookout! Codes can only be used one time, so if you find it, make sure to use it right away!

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures from my visits yesterday. Talk about lucky!

Party on, Pandas!

Hoppy Easter!

Today may be Easter, but that doesn't mean the Easter Egg Hunt is over! You still have over a week to collect the Easter Bunny's hidden eggs, then trade them to him for awesome prizes!

I think one of EB's coolest prizes is the Easter Egg Chair for your treehouse. If you agree, and want even more of them, make sure to check out the House and Tree Catalog. You can get 6 different colors of Easter Egg Chairs for 50 Panda Gold each!

I've added a few more events to the calendar for April and May. Zing Ballyhoo will be returning on April 30th, Cinco de Mayo is May 5th, and another fun Pandanda Game Day will be on Saturday, May 26th. And there will be even more fun to come! Just keep reading my Blog - it's the best place to get updates about what's going on in Pandanda!

Don't eat too many chocolate bunnies!

Easter Egg Hunt!

The Easter Bunny has indeed returned to Pandanda. You can find Easter eggs hidden all around Pandanda to exchanged them for cool prizes. Eggs are all around Pandanda (except your tree house), they appear every 30 seconds or so just like golden tickets and other collectible fruits and trash. They look like this:

To see how much eggs you have you go to the top right corner of the screen (under the map) it will display how much eggs you have.

Right now I have 2 lol.

Once you have gotten at least two eggs, you can go to the Easter Bunny at West Market Street, to exchange them for the Super Bunny Potion.

Personally I think you should get all the prizes first and use the remaining eggs to buy as much potions as you can, but it's your choice. These are all the prizes:

In total it all costs 400 eggs.

Wait.... there's one more thing, you can now purchase pandaNUNU's new background at the Clothing Co for 150 coins.

Hope you'll enjoy this year's Easter Egg Hunt!

Congratulations to all the winners! I was hoping that my friend osita1 would win though... I wonder what the "graphical" version(s) will look like? We'll see soon ;) and best of all, Henry is planning another contest for April that won't require any artistic ability, maybe a raffle or something.
