VFK Toasted Marshmallow Quest 2012![]
7:00 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, September 2nd, 2012 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, September 3rd, 2012.
Last Thursday, August 30th, was National Toasted Marshmallow Day! Just as the warm summer nights are beginning to cool, the inviting flames of a late summer evening campfire remind us of this wonderful toast-able treat! Special marshmallow toasting forks are nice, but you can just use a handy stick to toast up the perfect marshmallow over a blazing fire. This fun tradition is the quintessential way of celebrating National Toasted Marshmallow Day! Toasted marshmallows are even known to burst into flames, making a torch to illuminate a campsite on a dark night! On today's quest we are going to look into the edible history of marshmallows!
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and your choice of a Burning Marshmallow - Red or Blue Flame!

Crayons are such an integral part of our lives, that we take them for granted! Anyone can color a rainbow of bright vibrant colors easily and quickly, but it hasn't been that way for very long.

Many improvements and innovations have taken the unassuming crayon from relative anonymity, to prominence in the modern world! So, get out your crayons and some paper or your favorite coloring book, and follow along as we look at the colorful history of crayons!
