A special shout-out to all of the fans who drove a long way to attend one of our events. With the overwhelming success of the Van Tour, we are already planning towards 2011. Our goal will be to visit more cities and towns in more states so even more of our fans can get in on the fun.

It’s a MAZIN’ Hamster Party!
On Oct. 1, 2010, get ready because the MAZIN’ Hamsters are jumping out of their mazes and into Kinzville! That’s right! Now when you register a MAZIN’ Hamster feature code, you’ll be able to play with your hamster in your room, the park or the Clubhouse! They can be fed, dressed, and can enter into competitions at the Webkinz Stadium! Already have some hamsters? That’s fine! We’ll be unlocking this great feature for you as well. There is nothing you need to do. Note that MAZIN’ Hamsters are not regular Webkinz pets. They do not receive exclusive items and do not count towards your pet total. They also cannot be used to open a Webkinz account. You’ll still need a Webkinz pet to do that. If you haven’t tried MAZIN’ Hamsters yet, this is the perfect time to get in on the fun! You can run through crazy mazes, make Moolah, or play in your room with friends! It’s just another great reason to GO MAZIN’!
