[PookieBear50]

Sigh...not even a day's rest...

Well, once more into the fray...i guess...

[tsumtsum27]

So the pony is base on luck ? Not from giving a certain number of basket to the gnome ?

Yes! The Pony is luck.
Turning in 23 times gets you a grill.

[WindermereBakery]

Matches? We don't need no stinking matches!

[draughnc]

Funny...Got Chinese Fireworks not Carnival Fireworks from Gnome Picnic. So it is not marked off. There seems to be a problem/glitch on this one.

[DaphneGlass]

Ran out of mining tools, had about 40 of each, not one drop, everything else drops a lot, is there a problem with the mines, should I uninstall and reinstall, what do you all think, thanks x

[KewlMusic]

The Just Grillin' side goal has yet to appear. Is this goal given to random players?

Is your game updated to the latest version?

I am going to assume you have tried force closing and restarting your device.
And you are a high enough level for events.

Next step I would do is delete and reinstall.

I was ha tired I thought you meant the main event had not appeared

Just Grillin does not appear until you complete the seven goals.

Watch the paper for them.
I have been lucky finding most of the event items in the paper.

Me too..looks like the wrong one is in the prizes.

[1946Jenny]

Am I the only one to think that this is one of the worst events we have ever had. Not as an event but for messing up any chance of actual running our farms. The newspaper is full of fire extinguishers, community and neighbours shops are full of fire extinguishers. Completing vans and trains are almost impossible as no-one is selling anything normal. Please at least leave a few days between events so we have a chance of sorting everything out.

[skkdjdkckdmj]

The Just Grillin' side goal has yet to appear. Is this goal given to random players?

I'm wondering this too. I haven't got that goal yet :confused: I have my farm in two devices and neither of them have showed any signs of that goal

[skkdjdkckdmj]

Update: You have to complete the 7 goals then it appears

[RoyalBlue305]

Just finished the goals and just grillin appeared for me as well. Mine drops have been stingy. I used most of my tools on the last event trying to win the party crab. Oh well I’ll just keep selling fire extinguishers lol.

[RoyalBlue305]

All other drops have been decent for me except for the mining. Like Judy I have found a lot of items in the newspaper thank goodness

[gc0912]

Is the grill just a decoration? I’ve just got the Firework Pony and not sure whether to continue on for the 23.

[griffithpack]

I’ve collected from my passion fruit vines at least 4 times since last night when the goal appeared - not one drop from them! Can you spell frustrated? But I’ve got lots of fire extinguishers - oh wait - everyone has those! Not funny! Last event it was the studios - no drops - is this my reward for being a high level player and spending 1798 days on my farm?

I am working on the 23 collections so I sure hope this grill is flipping burgers ...smile

Same here, no drops from the passion vine and I also had the problems with the studio last event too! ☹️

[bubaxx]

So... 19 collections and no pony. I ain't even surprised anymore.

[griffithpack]

I hope the team can go to each of our farms and fix the fact that we got fireworks - but not the one for this event - no way to win the grill if we don’t get the proper fireworks - angry face!

The fireworks has nothing to do with the grill. Turn in 23 collections to the GNOME for the grill.

The prize for winning all prizes is a golden lure.

[Breejan1987]

I’ll be putting all of my event items in the market below market price.

I thought I would make a few items with my drops to help move them out of my barn but now I can?t sell the items I made?

It’s the gold things that drop from the fryer I have been searching for but all you see are extinguishers lol x

[DaphneGlass]

Watch the paper for them.

Hi Judy, yes, thank you, I did find a few mining tools, collected from pets and got a few more so that helped, still no mine drops though then I got some matches in the newspaper, drops from fryer are what I don?t see being sold anywhere, managed 3 turn ins so far xx

[skkdjdkckdmj]

I really wish the Just Grillin' appeared at the start of the event, not that we had to complete the 7 goals in order to get it!

[skkdjdkckdmj]

I have been very lucky to already have gotten all the prizes! The pony is so pretty! I'm still going to keep going!

The only items that can be bought/sold are the items which we find from the various places. None of the craft able items are sellable

Are any of the fireworks animated? Or do they just sit there?

[griffithpack]

The fireworks has nothing to do with the grill. Turn in 23 collections to the GNOME for the grill.

Doesn?t change the fact that it needs to be fixed by storm 8. We are NOT getting the event fireworks. please fix it!

[Breejan1987]

It really does make it difficult to play the game because I can?t sell event pieces fast enough to make room in my barn.

[judyandthecat]

The grill is animated
One square big
And it has a twelve hour timer
Gives some kind of treat

[judyandthecat]

I am trying only to collect crop item I really need other then that I leave crops in fields
You can dump the item if necessary

Yes, I’m going to have to dump some. Seems like poor management to discard something so valuable. 

[skkdjdkckdmj]

Sadly the only firework decoration that is animated is the Carnival Fireworks when you tap them. It would be nice if the smaller fireworks were animated :(

Wow, you work fast...I'm still working on collection #13.

[griffithpack]

So you actually got the carnival fireworks from turning in a collection. I’ve received the Chinese fireworks from an old event - not once, but twice!

[RoyalBlue305]

Used most of my tools on the last event and have tried to build back up but pets aren?t giving tools right now so almost impossible to mine for matches. In over 20 digs in the mine using the last of my tools I received 2 matches. And like other players my passion fruit vines are equally as stingy. Frustration once again setting in.

[bubaxx]

The Gnome Grill only gave me coins.

[judyandthecat]

The Gnome Grill only gave me coins.

Me too

Hopefully something better next Collection

I hope so!

[DaphneGlass]

That’s me out, good luck everyone, I just got sick of turning in and getting the same thing, stopping now, back at work tomorrow anyway so less time for games, back to being an occasional player xx

[divinekakan]

After givning 24 baskets to the gnome I got everything but the pony ��.

[DaphneGlass]

That sounds about right lol, I just don’t get enough ingredient to make more than 4 or 5 of the thing to use to turn in, well done reaching 24 x

[bubaxx]

33 collections and still nothing.

[PookieBear50]

Hmm...from what I've seen in this forum thread, the general consensus seems to be that the pony is a very rare prize indeed. I'm at 19 of 23 and still no Pony. I guess I'm going to have to go back in and do more mining and such to keep making Summer Party Packs.

[Kinky_Candy]

Hello all :) First i have fix, i dont know how many exactly items for the gnome and still no pony :(
And Second i have one PROBLEM LATELY and i dont know why. Im in ipad with IOS 12.3.1 and from one event before the last leaderboard with the crab, THE GAME KICK ME OFF very often or in my screen i c the chicken to walking :( Im a player that play every day and I spend real money almost in every event but now am very sad about this problem because i cant play as much as i want. Can everyone help me? Do u have the same problem like i do? Thank u in advance! Good luck to all with event!

[RoyalBlue305]

I?ve gone through all my tools and none are being dropped by pets or from plane deliveries. It?s obvious that the coders have scripted this. Sigh. Another Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown. No tools all day and it?s back to work tomorrow. No tools no mining no matches no collection turn-ins no pony no point. More sighing.

[bubaxx]

I?m done playing. After 50 collections no pony for me. What a waste...

[draughnc]

Same here. 50+ turn ins and no pony. Not enjoying this game anymore. Won't waste anymore money or time.

[Kinky_Candy]

Same here :( i agree totally with draughnc!!

[sullyshouse]

I?m bummed too, haven?t won a luck based event in over a year! Very sad! Still trying though!

[daz881]

61 turn ins and no fireworks pony �� Such a disappointment

[RoyalBlue305]

Same here. Waste of time. Each event gets more impossible. I love this little game and have played it for years but I just don’t get why it’s become so difficult. I don’t remember it being this way. Either way no pony. Fail.

[PookieBear50]

Lots of everything except for the Fireworks Pony. Oh, well.

[b95709e]

I spent a lot on trying to get the firework pony, making the gnome picnic collections only to end up with loads of fireworks and a few of the other items but no elusive firework pony. I wish I hadn?t bothered buying crystals!! If the event items are not achievable what?s the point? I intend reviewing the game on the App Store to highlight this. Disappointed player of quite a few years!!

No pony and the grill stopped working when the event was over. I don't even know what it was good for because I could not collect a single time. This was a rather useless event, it was not even fun.

[Minimalio]

Non sono riuscita a prendere il premio finale (la griglia) ...nonostante avessi prodotto i 23 cestini richiesti....sapevo che il pony non l'avrei vinto perch? i giochi a fortuna non mi premiano mai...ma la griglia si visto che serviva impegno non fortuna. Eppure ieri intorno alle 22 ora italiana quando ho provato a raccogliere il 23 cestino questo ? sparito magicamente per ricomparire solamente 10 ore dopo a gioco concluso. So che altri vicini della mia zona hanno avuto lo stesso problema. Non ne conosco il motivo...ma rimane la delusione per il fallimento...il primo in questo tipo di eventi. Davvero dispiaciuta 😔

[JBdeL17]

I’ve been playing for four years and I think this was one of the worst events. Over 50 baskets handed in to the gnome picnic and no pony. The other prizes were boring and not worth the time and effort. Also, the number of fire extinguishers was ridiculous! I wish there was a poll for this event, because I would rate it very poorly.

[suncatchers]

Once the burgers on the grill disappear, tap on it to collect (I think every 12 hours??). I?ve only collected coins from my grill.

My first time collecting from the Grill gave me a Shovel. The second collection was coins.

[suncatchers]

My first time collecting from the Grill gave me a Shovel. The second collection was coins.

Good to know! I’ve collected about 2 or 3 times and only coins so far, hopefully I’ll get something different next time.

[bessbee]

No pony...just junk

[Lilliepaddd]

Thankfully my luck changed and got the pony...rarely happens to me so I'm thankful, the grill is cute.

[PookieBear50]

My first time collecting from the Grill gave me a Shovel. The second collection was coins.

Third collection was coins again, but the fourth collection was a Pickaxe.

Update: fifth and sixth collection were coins. Seventh was a Pickaxe. Eighth was coins again.
