3rd Anniversary Party

The 3rd Anniversary Party was a party in Club Penguin. Hence the name, it was the celebration of Club Penguin turning three. It started on October 24, 2008, and ended on October 26, 2008. Rockhopper came to celebrate this party with other famous penguins. This was the biggest Anniversary Party so far, as the party was decorated beyond the Book Room and the Coffee Shop. The 3rd Year Party Hat is also the first hat to have more than two colors. In real life, there was also a celebration in Times Square, New York. This was the first and only Anniversary Party that had the Night Club decorated.

Decorations

 * Town: All of the buildings of the Town were decorated. The Coffee Shop was decorated so it looked like the cake inside. The Gift Shop was decorated with an ad outside, and it seemed much bigger. However, the interior of the Gift Shop was not decorated. Overall, the Town looked like Times Square.
 * Coffee Shop: There was a Wish-Maker 3000 above the cake, which would blow the entire top of the cake down to the floor, revealing the 3rd Year Party Hat inside the cake. There was also a banner that says Happy 3rd Anniversary. The Ice Cream Apron was also found in a box here.
 * Book Room: The Book Room had the 2007-2008 Yearbook featured on a table. There was blue, orange and yellow seats around the room. The Mancala tables were also moved.
 * Night Club: The Dance Club was transformed heavily. The back of the room had a large "3", and there were various colors on the dance floor. The Dance Lounge was not decorated, but there was an anniversary pin there.
