    Hi PodKinz! My favorite part about St. Patrick’s Day is that you have to wear green or you’ll get pinched. My family alway pulls that joke on me every year. I like how we will be able to collect jelly coins to get the grand prize. I also like how we will be able to get a prize when we log in on St. Patrick’s Day.

    My favorite thing about St. Patricks day would be the parade in my town. Even though its super cold, there are floats with scottish dancers and venders selling plastic green bead necklaces and lots of other green thing!

    I got my first Webkinz pet, the Spotty Dinosaur, as a Christmas gift back in 2010 and I joined on January 2011. As of now, I have 59 pets and I couldn’t believe that Webkinz has been around for almost 10 years now! I may go to Amazing World more often now but I still try to visit at least once a day and my love for my webbies will never EVER end! Happy almost 10th anniversary Webkinz, we love you! :) ;) :D <3333333333

    Great episode! I loved hearing from Laura about how the site began. It’s always amazing to learn about how great sites get started, but it’s also nice to see how they evolve over time. I think the most amazing thing about Webkinz is seeing and experiencing the changes that make up the history of the site, and knowing that I was a part of that history. And I think the best part about St. Patrick’s Day on Webkinz will be looking for that cheeky Leprechaun in the Clubhouse. Keep up the great work, Gennelle and Mike! Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day!
