Dear Pony Pals

You don't need to ride your pony to get to downtown any more! You can take our new "Wiggins Express" bus to downtown and go shopping. You can catch our bus by clicking on our "bus stop" sign near the mounting block outside Crandal's barn.

While you are shopping at Kline's downtown, check out the new blue halter & lead rope, saddle blanket and English saddle pad.

If you happen to find Scout my kitten in a barrel while you are downtown, you can bring him back on the bus -- but he dislikes bus travel and might start complaining.

We have a new chat feature on our game. We now have an "admin" to open the live moderated chat so you can see whoever is online when you log in and talk to them. Whenever you log on, if you see a title that says "Live moderated chat going on now. Click here to join!" When you click on those words you will be taken to a moderated chat window.

Once you are there, you will see a right hand column that lists which members are there, by username. At the very top of that column, you can click on a square box of pulldown items to edit your profile and choose a temporary avatar symbol that will show up next to your name while you are in the chat.

All messages are moderated, so our same forum rules apply. That means no last names, no personal information and nothing mean or creepy.

A big "thank you" to all the members who came by last Friday's sleepover. Our next one is scheduled for July 17th, so mark your calendars. There are also two birthday parties scheduled, the next one is for member 5a94 on July 27th, and one in August, too.

Our members continue to share their amazing artwork here in the Weekly. This week, Niliwolf sent in a two-part artwork "what rules?" plus a postcard entry. Bertalina sent in two pieces of art from her "water horse" series. The jigsaw entries were so good that it was a tie and both members got prizes.

Our June Story contest entries are waiting for you to read at this link. Voting for our June story contest started on July 1st. We will declare our winner during the July 17 sleepover.   Vote for your favorite story as many times as you want. Our story contest's winner -- chosen by voting members -- will get 2500 Wiggins Bucks. The next two runners-up each get 1000 Wiggins Bucks. Please email your story entries to Webmaster@ClubPonyPals.com
or post it in our forum. Stories can be any length. This is Club PONY Pals so there should be a pony or horse in it somewhere.

Our coloring contest entries deadline has been extended to July 10th, 2009. Take a look at the great entries below from Britnie and HayashiOkami. You can earn 1000 Wiggins bucks if you win!

And in July ClubPonyPals has another NEW contest: "This Month's Best YouTube Video about ClubPonyPals." Each month we will award 500 Wiggins Bucks to the player who posts the best video about our club. YouTube is a site that has all kinds of content on it and you will need your parents permission to go there. Please make sure and ask your parents!! If you do get permission, you can go to YouTube and search for Club Pony Pals. There are two videos already there. They are automatically entered! Be creative!

Very soon downtown Wiggins' Green Market will open. If any of you have some spare apples, the Green Market sells cider and will buy your extra apples to use in making their own apple cider. If you pick apples while you are riding along Pony Pal trail, here's a way to make some Wiggins bucks for that new saddle from Klines.

And our avatars are getting closer to being ready for testing! Programmers are working on them right now. Testers will be hearing from us by email just as soon as we have a version ready to for them to try.

This week's high scoring players or math games got 100 Wiggins bucks, the next nine high scoring players got 50 bucks each.   Start solving those math mini games in Pam's game collection in Crandal's barn loft.

Our weekly jigsaw art contest is still going. Each week, the winner gets 100 Wiggins Bucks, a bumper sticker and a bookmark that is redeemable for some virtual pony treats on the sign in page where it says "coupon code."

Our third anniversary issue of the Wiggins Weekly is coming right up. How should we celebrate the start of our third year of e-publication?

P.S. We are looking for new members. If you have a friend you think might like our Club, please tell them to sign up and try it. The only way we can keep our site free is if we get lots of new members.

Horses see people as predators, when you get in her stall stick out hand. If the horse touches your hand with it's muzzle, it is kind of a single that says "Okay, you can touch me." Blow in the horse's nose. It is a signal from you that says " I am not going to hurt you." Don't blow to hard in your horse's nose or it might spook it.
