Released: 17 September 2009 Retired: 23 September 2009

Announcements

Pixie Hollow announced the Changing of the Leaves under the "Events" section on the Pixie Hollow site.

Changing of the Leaves 9/17-9/23

Posted by: Sweet Pea

Autumn is almost here, which means there is lots of work to be done in Pixie Hollow! First on the to-do list: Help the leaf-painting talents change the leaves from summery green to autumn red. Tinker Bell is already working on a special gadget to make this the quickest and easiest Changing of the Leaves event yet. She’ll be asking for YOUR help in exchange for a special badge on September 15, a couple days before the event officially begins. Be sure to fly by her nook in Cottonpuff Field to find out more next week!

If fall is brought to the mainland on time, there will be a big party in the autumn meadows starting on the first day of the new season, September 22. So, we all better start rolling up our leaf-painting sleeves -- season-changing time is here!
