Beach party, coming up!

Build-A-Bearville is quickly growing. More and more users are joining, and it's getting difficult to find an empty den. So that's why Build-a-Bear is expanding the horizons of their town - by adding a beach.

Summertime is on its way, and many of us love to spend a hot day going for a swim or a tan at the beach. Soon, Build-A-Bearville users will be able to visit a virtual beach during their stay at Build-A-Bearville. Build-A-Bear has kindly offered to let the users vote on the new beach name - users can choose from Bear Bay, Cub Coast, Sunshine Shores, or Teddy Tropics. Currently, Sunshine Shores is leading with 42%. Teddy Tropics and Bear Bay follow close behind with 28% and 16%, respectively. Cub Coast is trailing with only 11 out of every 100 votes.

To kick off the opening of the new beach, Build-A-Bear is holding an exclusive beach party at the new beach, with Lucas Grabeel as the guest of honor. To get into the party, customers must purchase something at their local Build-A-Bear workshop. This party is only available from March 14 to March 30, so hurry in! Take note, though - beach-party Lucas is run by a computer.

That's all for today. Join me on Thursday for Lilli's Whimsical Post as I go over the new fashions at Build-A-Bear Workshop, and again on Saturday for a post about the newest edition to the Build-A-Bear Furry Friends.
