Flight Rising's playerbase celebrates a lot of holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and even Valentine's day, but what way to welcome 2018 (even though we're about a month and a half late) than to celebrate it's Chinese zodiac of the year, and man's best friend? 2018 is the year of the Dog - the last time this happened was 2006! And what better way to celebrate it than to give everyone a dog? Well, sorry, but we can't do that. It's not legal to throw dogs at everyone, as much as we'd like to do it. So to make up for our inability to give everyone a dog, we've come up with a line of events for you all, spanning across a week much like any flight's festival! We hope you had a great Crystalline Gala! We hope you'll enjoy this player hosted event! [nextcol][img]https://i.imgur.com/UIkSj2Z.png[/img]

We don't have real fireworks, but we have a huge raffle at the end to close the Year of the Dog event! You can even put your own firework gifs!

We like to help whenever we can, and this raffle will let you play a part in ending world hunger, and you get some sweet stuff too!
