Preview: Keeping The Park Clean
After spending the last two months working hard on the Webkinz Arcade, we’ve decided to focus our energies on a different part of the site. After launching late last year, the Kinzville Park has become a popular place to play in Webkinz World. There’s always new people to meet and play with in the Park! While the park has become popular, though, it has also become dirty. Trash has begun to appear in the park, and it’s up to us to think of the environment and clean up the park! That’s why we’ve got a brand new activity called “Keeping The Park Clean,” which challenges each and every one of you to help us keep the park pristine! More details and a screenshot follow after the break.
Coming Soon: Ferret
Joining the Shar Pei and the Bubblegum Cheeky Cat as the last of our featured pets for March is a pet with a neck as long as its belly is wide: the fun-loving Ferret! Standing tall with a long, lean neck and a beautiful brown coat, the curious Ferret is always on the lookout for a snack when it’s not sound asleep. You’ll often find the Ferret hiding about, but feed him a Foot Long Feast before fixing him a bath in his Relaxing Longtub, and you’ll find yourself with a friend for life! Find the Ferret in March 2010!
