UPDATE 1/29 The Mara calendar has been updated. Last year Lunar New Year was celebrated on 1/29. This year it has been moved to 2/17.
Info from last year:
Lunar New Year
All Lunar pets will receive FREE TRAINING at the Gym and Elite Gym until February 1st
All Lunar pets will receive FREE LESSONS at the School and University until February 1st
The Costumes Boutique will have the Lunar Costume on sale January 29th
The Lunar Costumes is now a Calendar Costume meaning that they will only be on sale at the Costumes Boutique for one day of the year (Lunar New Year) as shown on our Calendar

That means we should get 3 days of free training and the costume should be on sale on the 17th.

Hi everyone,

I'm sending this out a little early just in case we lose power/internet. We are in the region expected to get 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch of ice tonight into tomorrow.
