Wow! What a party we had!!! Palomacy’s cherished tradition of annual celebration- Flocktoberfest in 2017, COO-CHELLA in 2018, Mascoorade in 2019- was threatened this year by the pandemic but we, like the pigeons we so admire, adapted and with incredibly generous help from Twitch.TV stars Holly Conrad and Kayla Cline of We Crowing Hens, hosted our first ever worldwide online Pijama Party! It was so fun! Palomacy party goers know how legendary Christiana’s party decor is this year she handmade magical decorations and boxed them up and shipped them to 10 lucky party families! And she created a Pijama Party Host Booklet which is available to download here. As always, Christiana’s touch made our party especially beautiful.
While we really miss getting together in person, it was a huge treat to be able to invite everybody- from all over the world- to join us. And they did! More than 300 people and their birds put on their jammies and snuggled up with their screen to live stream pijama party with our incredible hosts Holly (assisted by Feathers) and Kayla (assisted by Nuggies) and their mod team Jessi and Chris and special guests Jenna, Christiana, Rose, Ashley, Meg, Jill and myself. Our party goers had fun ‘meeting’ some of their faraway Palomacy friends and we all loved the interviews! We had a super fun evening, broadened our horizons into a whole new-to-Palomacy medium (online streaming) and we raised $4681 to help the birds! (That’s the most we’ve ever raised with one of our events!) And if you missed seeing the party live, you can see the whole event recorded at: Palomacy Pijama Party 2020! You can also see our special 20 minute party video created for us by Jenna Close here. Yay!!! Hooray!!!! THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!!!

You can order Pijama Party Tshirts & merch in our store. And we’d love your feedback! Please email Elizabeth@PigeonRescue.org with your thoughts.
