Thanks for the great article link. Webkinz is alive and well with my seven year old. They are popular with children and adults. Of course, in this economy we can not buy as many. Want to see a thriving community of wonderful people that love webkinz?

Come and visit at Gymbo’s.
There is a great contest this week.

Hope to see you there. – JR & JRsDad
