October is almost upon us! And I'm sure most of you know what that means...
It's almost time for
HALLOWEEN!

We're kicking off the spookiest season of the year a little early here on Alacrity with some very special dog auctions.
These dogs are being auctioned for bones. Take a look at all those scary pups, decked out for their favourite holiday, and you'll see why!
2spooky!



Summer Sendoff
We're in the last week of the Summer Sendoff event.
All the contests are now closed, and the entries being judged by our dedicated staff team.
Winners will be announced and prizes sent out on September 30th!

In the meantime, the Daily Custom Raffle will be continuing every day until the end of this month.
That means 5 more days left to enter and win!



Custom Marking Raffle
And speaking of raffles... don't forget about our Custom Marking Raffle that started at the beginning of the week.

The winner will receive a Custom Marking Mix which, upon turning it over to the Head Artist, will allow them to create a brand new secondary marking on the breed of their choice!

Tickets are being sold for both alacash and bones -- and you also have a chance of winning a free ticket from The Professor!


That's all the news for now, but keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks for contest winner announcements, and maybe a few more events! ;)

Hey, guys! I bring you two late additions to the Summer Sendoff Ehm has been pouring heart and soul into while I quietly wander the file server blaming my bigger mistakes on Larth :P



The 215th Riddle

The Professor got a little bit of work done to better suit our new format, and the first of the new puzzles is now up!

The first time I solved a puzzle like this I was 10 or so, but I think even our adult users will like it. It takes a little working out, though, so, for those first few willing to brave it, the prize is a little bigger than usual


- It's a Raffle Ticket!-

which, coincidentally, very much brings me to my next bit of news....




The Raffle

The raffle is back! This time we're offering a Custom Marking Mix - a unique token item which, when turned over to the Head Artist entitles its bearer to 1 free custom secondary marking on the breed of his choice.


In honor of the end-of-summer event, tickets for this raffle will be available for alacash or bones, not USD.
Good Luck, Everyone!



Continuing Contests

Don't forget the Daily Custom Raffle, and all the other great contests going on during the Summer Sendoff!

Keep Calm and Hope I Don't Break Anything,
