Where
is Wiggins? And where is Crandal Stables?
Wiggins
is a tiny rural town in southern Vermont, so it rarely appears on
state, regional or national maps. Crandal Stables is just north of
town, about a mile from Main Street. For reference, a map of Wiggins
is attached below.
Is this site meant for just "locals" and if so, local to
where?
Despite
the fact Wiggins is so small, it has a print newspaper called the
Wiggins Gazette that covers local "hard" news events.
The horse-oriented electronic newspaper Wiggins
Weekly was started in the Summer of 2007 to cover
equine and human interest events in Wiggins, to keep readers in touch
with some of the main characters in Jeanne Betancourt's Pony Pals
books and to provide ongoing updates about the new virtual riding
lessons and experiences that are planned for this site. This is the
only authorized Pony Pals website based on Jeanne Betancourt's
books.
What
is your tie-in with Jeanne Betancourt and her books?
The
WebMaster of this site arranged with the publisher of Jeanne Betancourt's
books, Scholastic, Inc. for exclusive permission to do things relating
to the Pony Pals books, like create this site, develop planned
virtual riding lessons and eventually even offer fans of the books
things like Pony Pals films, television shows,
toys and cards.
Does
this cost money?
No,
signing up at Club Pony Pals does not cost money. When you email the
WebMaster she will add you to an emailing list and send you a note.
You will also get an email whenever there's a new e-newspaper issue
available so you can read it for free. ClubPonyPals will not share
your email address with anyone else.
Does
the Wiggins Weekly cost money?
The
e-newsletter is free.
Do
you want stories, cartoons or horse drawings for the e-newspaper?
Yes,
as long as they are horse, pony or Pony Pals related.
Is
the Virtual Riding Lesson free?
It
will be. We have to create it but we plan to offer up to four lessons
a day for free. After you pass a riding test you will be allowed out
on trail, too.
