==Designers are the Best Judges!==
Crafting something beautiful from the earth can be challenging, even harrowing sometimes! But with a little love, a lot of bug spray and a big shovel, you're well on your way to a blossoming Eden!
Once the whistle blows and everyone puts down their favorite gardening tool, you and your sun burned, dirt stained neighbors, will weigh each other's creations with an all too deserving scrutiny!
That's right, all those who have entered the Garden Room Competition, will also have the chance to be a judge!
On Saturday, May 4th, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time), all you have to do to start judging, is to check under the Menu, and select the Judging option!
After the judging is complete you will receive your special judging awards!
===How does the Judging work?===
You will be assigned a room to judge at random.
You will not be assigned your own design to judge.
The maximum number of rooms you can judge is limited to 60 rooms.
Every time you complete the judging of 10 rooms, you will earn one of the special judging awards.
After you enter a Garden Room to be judged, your judging/rating tool will activate after 30 seconds.
In the final analysis, the ratings you give a room will be weighted based on how high your design is scored by other judges. If your design is getting all 10's, then your judging will be given more weight than if you were getting all 1's!
===Judging the Judges!===
That's right, judging the judges!
The judges whose actual ratings are closest to the final scores of their assigned Garden Designs will receive the Best Garden Room Competition Judge Pin!
All judging must be completed by Monday, May 6th, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time (6:00 P.M. Eastern Time).
Who will win the VFK Garden Room Competition? Only you can decide!

==VFK Barbeque Quest 2013!==
7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, May 5th, 2013 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, May 6th, 2013.
Barbeque can be spelled as barbeque, barbecue or just simply BBQ, but don't worry, all are correct! Seasoned barbequers not only can't agree on a spelling, but they can't agree on anything else about barbequing either! There are some general guidelines for preparing barbeque, but most everything including the right cooking method, the best meat to use and the ultimate flavorings are hotly debated! Because there are such a variety of preparation methods, the origins are tricky to trace. So, get out your grill and your favorite BBQ recipe and let's take a look at barbecuing!
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Hanging Grill Fire Pit!<BR><BR><BR>

7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, May 19th, 2013 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, May 20th, 2013.
The picturesque image of a windmill silhouetted against the sky, with its sails rotating in the breeze has inspired the imagination of painters and writers through time. Windmills are not only beautiful, but they have been the workhorses of mills for centuries and have been used for a wide range of purposes. Used to harness the wind, they are placed on hilltops and other prominent locations, and so they tend to become landmarks for their areas. Windmills have been built in Europe since the late tenth century, with the illustrations starting to appear as early as 1270. On today's quest, hope for a favorable wind and let's go look at the history of windmills!
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and a Garden Windmill!<BR><BR><BR>

So, today on our Fifth Anniversary quest, let's retrace our steps and walk out of our doors, back into the past of VFK, and relive some of our most memorable times!

There are many large predators that stalk the wild. The predators considered the most dangerous in the world are many, and each one reigns supreme in its environment. In the watery environs of the world, the orca and the great white shark are known as the fiercest predators with fins. From the cold Arctic, the polar bear takes the honor of the largest land predator. The eagles are known to rule the skies. Many others contend for top of the food chain, however, the animals that always make the list of the most formidable are the big cats. On Day Four of your epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we are going to take a look at these ferocious, fascinating and still all feline predators, the big cats!

From Rudyard Kipling to Mother Goose and any number of creative authors, literature is overflowing with animal characters. Whether they are common, rare, or fantasy animals from a fictional realm, animals are an integral part of many great books and stories. Sometimes the animals are portrayed as realistic, or they may sit down to tea like in the Wind in the Willows, but often they terrorize such as the arch villain Shere Khan in "The Jungle Book," but they are always entertaining! On Day Six of your epic quest for Twilight Enchantment, we are going to take a look at Big Cats in literature!

Congratulations to all our racing participants, the enthusiasm for this year's VFK Memorial Day Weekend Racing Extravaganza is unrivaled!
The commitment to success this Racing Extravaganza was amazing, with everyone giving it their all!
As each racer ran the race course on Sunday, the servers received over 200 incremental reports indicating where the racer's car was on the track for each race. Each of these 200 reports includes not only the location of the car, but also time, velocity and direction. Taken together with the start and end server times recorded on the server, this race was amazing in every way!
Below is a visual representation of the paths taken over the race course by each of the winning racers:
