Got Sand? 
Randy wanted us to let everyone know that if you come dig through his dunes, only the item that is hidden under the last dune will go in your backpack. This means you have to dig through all four dunes in order to get a prize. So please don't make a mess of one dune and then leave. It creates a lot more work for Randy straightening everything out after.
Remember, Randy will see you once a day every day in July AND August!

City Wars #2 Challenge 1 
The first challenge of the second city war has come to an end. We're happy to say that it appears there's quite a bit of improvement in most of the cities already as larger groups of citizens came together to score points for their city, and many have lost quite a bit of sleep the past few days. The variable scoring for this challenge proved to make things even more exciting (and frustrating, don't you hate regular slime?). The next challenge will also have a little bonus surprise in store.
Here are the current standings:
Gecko City - 10 points
Polar City - 9 points
Wolfox City - 8 points
Kuvasz City - 7 points
Dolphin City - 6 points
Pony City - 5 points
Sheepdog City - 4 points
Somali City - 3 points
Labrador City - 2 points
Eagle City - 1 points
Collie City - 0 points
Stay tuned, the next challenge starts on July 10th, and have a great 4th of July weekend for those who celebrate it.
