As summer winds down for much of Terrafrost, say a final goodbye with two new fruits, funded by @mochihugs, the Lemon and Lime. They can be found in the Food Mall if you find yourself missing those hot, sunny days! In one week they will be requested by the Space Quest and rewarded by the Candy Quest.
Member of the Month voting for this month is ending soon! Wherever you are in Terrafrost, don't forget to head to the nearest voting booth and cast your vote for Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! Terrafrostians can vote for up to three Users to win 100,000 IcePoints and the Member of the Month Avatar.
Two winners will be chosen each month. One lucky new winner will be honoured with Yet to Win MOTM, for those who have yet to be recognised for their community contribution. Then there is the Free for All MOTM, which includes all members except Staff, for those long-time members who deserve another tip of the hat. For those who have already won MOTM, you will receive the Honoured Member Trophy.
Remember! - You cannot nominate yourself or members of Staff. - Do not ask other Users to vote for yourself or other members. - You may vote for up to three Users per month. - Send your nominations here!
You can submit your vote any time during the month, and have until the end of the month to do so. Winners will be announced on the first of next month!

If potatoes are something you like, these new Items will make you smile. The new Potato has been funded by @LollyX and fresh Poutine funded by @Megrim! If you don't like plain potato, perhaps you could use it to make poutine of your own. Both Items can be purchased from the Food Mall. In one week they will be requested by the Space Quest and rewarded by the Candy Quest.
The smell of these new treats may have enticed some other visitors. @Nexinhah funded these adorable companions -- the Brown Herji and Black Herji. Jacobi now has these two cuddly critters available in the Companion Reserve. Will you let them join your Companion family?

"Hm, hm, hm... Oh! Excuse me! Wait -- what are you all doing here?"
It's him! The Collector! Where on Terrafrost is this? Deep in the thickets of the Halipar Jungle...
"I didn't realise I'd made everyone worried! I guess I lost track of the days. See here? There are ruins all around this place! I've come looking for rare Ancient artifacts, and I think this place was once a Zabeu settlement, abandoned long ago."
Overhead, Flying Pets whoosh by and hop between the branches of tree-loft buildings. Critters scamper between bushes and the boulders of old ruins. Oh -- and there! It's the Mateeni that stole the supplies! It's rushing off to that enclosure on the other side of the clearing.
"Not often we see a new face around here. We're so out of the way, usually it's Flying Pets who have the most ease dropping in and out. Pardon me, I should introduce myself. I'm Jacobi, and I foster lost, lonely, and wayward Companions.
"Ah, dear, I see what brings you here -- that particular Mateeni is always causing mischief! Here, allow me -- oof! There you go, here are your supplies back. I'm so sorry about that! Please, feel free to visit with the other Companions, while you're here. They are all in need of loving homes. Just have a look around my Companion Reserve at your leisure."
"Collector! Thank goodness we found you! I've missed you, my fabulous friend! It really is beautiful out here, isn't it? I can see why you stayed. Do you think -- do you suppose -- ? Oh, Collector, wouldn't it be lovely to move here? Artifacts for you to collect, flowers for me to fashion, it could be absolutely bedazzling!"
The Search Event is over!
The Collector has stumbled upon a new zone, and loves it so much he's here to stay! His best friend, the Beauty King, is sure to join him, and after the long trek here, he's taken some time to wash up and groom himself even more fabulously than usual.
Halipar Jungle can now be accessed from the Terrafrost map! You can also click here to go there right away!
Jacobi runs the new Companion Reserve, and all existing Companion Items will now be restocking there! We're also excited to introduce an array of adorable new buddies, including Friffy and Molly funded by @Megrim, and Blooming Mateeni and Warm Mateeni funded by @Nexinhah. There are many more, so keep an eye on the enclosure!
You may also notice a mysterious critter in one of the tree trunks is now in charge of assembling your Jigsaw Puzzles.
Everyone who participated in the event will receive these tokens of thanks for your efforts:
1. Ancient Snow Jar 2. Search Event Trophy 3. "Discovery" Avatar Item
Please allow some time for prizes to be sent out; this process should begin later in the day.
Thanks everyone, we hope you had fun! Now go explore Halipar!

The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce the winners of Member of the Month (MOTM for short)! For this month's Yet to Win MOTM, everyone congratulate...
Thank you for making IcePets a better place! Here are our favourite things about Gordopaty:
- Gordopaty is a long time member who recently came back from a hiatus. They've been welcoming to new members, helpful in the event thread, and overall a nice person to chat with! - I would like to nominate Gordopaty. I saw they only just came back after a break but they've been a familiar face for awhile! They were one of the volunteers to allow members who don't feel comfortable chatting or making friends to use them for task completions. Really makes me feel better when people do this!
Next up, the winner of the Free for All MOTM, please congratulate...
Thank you for your continuing contributions to our community! Here are our favourite things about POURRITURE:
- POURRITURE is always around and have you seen that awesome item directory they are working on? They definitely deserve to win MOTM! - They keep up with the gallery directory and item directory, and they also seem nice, which is why I am nominating them.
Both of these fantastic members will receive 100,000 IcePoints and either the exclusive Member of the Month Avatar, or, if they already have it, the Honoured Member Trophy.
While member votes were tallying for MOTM, Staff votes tallied for SOTM, and this month's winner is...
To acknowledge their contributions to the team, we've created the following Item in their honour!
Marimo
As we move into September, new Items can be found in the I.C.E Shop for the duration of the month! Head on over to pick up the new Barber Kit and Record Pancakes, along with the returning Fake Eyelashes. Each of these is priced at 500 IceCash (or 450 IceCash for Gold Account Members)!
We also have two new Items landing in regular shops: the Rustic Makoat Puppet and West Glacia Story! You can find them in the Toy Shop and the Book Store, respectively. In one week, the Book Quest will request West Glacia Story and the Space Quest will request the Rustic Makoat Puppet.
The seasons are changing, and with them, the Token Booth stock has swapped over! Welcome the brand new Leaf Rubbing Stamp, Cthleaf, and Maple Leaf Puzzle, which can all be purchased with tokens.
If you missed out on any of the older Autumn Token Booth Items, you can try to find one in the Autumn Goodie Bag.
It seems that Sally Searcher was able to find some extra supplies -- the tasks may yet be continued for one more extra day! The event will end at September 1, 23:59:59 IcePets Time.
