For me, it also seems to be stingy during some events - luckily, I haven't had tough luck getting them from the Feed Mill, YET. But to be fair, I've also found a majority of mine through the news paper. Just because I'm only making feed for pigs right now and I don't want to make feed I don't particularly need yet.

You've got to be joking me

I've turned in my first 3 collections and have all times, received a rocky road path.

Hoping the rest of my collection turn ins start looking good :( or at least decent.

56088

But I guess if nothing else, all I've got to do is turn in 13 more collections, and I'll receive a free "Bakers Rack"

This is exactly the way I've been doing it myself, instantly checking the newspaper each time it refreshes itself every 5 minutes, - if and when I get on, which is very frequently as of late - and being very quick (to buy) if I see something I need to make a cake with.

In less than 30 minutes I've got another collection ready to turn in.

---

I lucky was able to get a Cactus yesterday (finally!) after my many attempts to get something other than the Rocky Road path.

Once I can get another 10 collections turned in, I will eventually stop. Because I do want the free bakers rack they're offering after you turn in x_ amount of collections.

I hope however, that I may be able to get the animal Ferris wheel, but again, that is all I particularly want from this anyway.

Anyway, Congratulations Judy on winning the dough slime.

I did invite you, to see what it looks like. Since you didn't know how to post a picture, it looks nice.

You can decline, since I was just looking at it. Very cool how you've paired it with the tea cup ride.

I am now so tempted to keep going to (hopefully) try wining it - the Animal (or Chicken) Ferris wheel. I really want it now.

--- Anyway.

I'm hoping I can possible continue until this event ends, to possibly get 2 of them. But seeing as I don't even have one yet, I may just be lucky to even receive and get 1 of them.

My collection turn ins so far;
4 Rocky Road Paths
2 Bucking Bull
2 Cowgirl Boot Vase
2 Carnival Banner
1 Ice Cream Cottage
1 Ice Cream Planter
1 Yellow Bloomin' Cactus

I'm stuck on goal 4 of 8 in Baked Treats because no matter how many times I make Morgan's Sweet Treats my progress won't register. Even if I close and reopen the app it still shows 0 completed. Any one else having this happen to them?

Did u by chance start making basket?

If u did, that might be the issue. U need to have all 3 treats available (not used up) to check goal off.

Does anyone know what the bakers rack does?

It has a timer on it and it appears that you can possibly collect from it (from what I can see)

What does this mean? Is the bakers rack just a one time use?

Thanks! I'm glad it isn't one time use, as I wanted to buy more of them (for decorative purposes)

Anyway. I'm going to turn in 4 more collections, today (or so) and see if I get the animal Ferris Wheel (or rather chicken Ferris wheel) if not, I may not bother anymore. But congratulations to those who have won it! A cute decoration.

My collection so far, a bit updated but not really. The only thing that's changed from before are the numbers, I didn't and haven't get a new item yet.

Anyway my collection now.

4 Rocky Road Paths
3 Cowgirl Boot Vase
3 Carnival Banner
2 Bucking Bull
2 Ice Cream Planter (a decent item/win)
2 Yellow Bloomin' Cactus
1 Ice Cream Cottage (a decent item/win)

I'm hoping by tonight, I have or can add the animal Ferris wheel to my winning(s) list, but I highly doubt it.

07-26-20, 02:04 PM
Yeah I know that. I was just saying.. Anyways now I have turned in 27 times .. Still no pet. I could turn in 100 times and still wouldn't get it lol. My point is I never get the turn in pet prize. Once I'm done using up all of the event parts i have, I'm stopping the event. Good luck to you though

Wow I’m going to actually finish a collection event. Lol I never am able to complete these but thanks Storm 8 for making this event short and sweet and most importantly “doable”. I got the Dough Chef Slime and am finishing up the 23 baskets for Goal 8.

And Judy you were right on the large Chef. I can see him as well lol. I love the little Yeast creature too from the Leaderboard but he’s so tiny lol. But cute with the little eyes.

This has been an enjoyable event! Thank you Storm 8!

I've turned in my final collections (but one!) and I have received;

7 Cowgirl Boot Vase
6 Rocky Road Paths
5 Carnival Banner
4 Ice Cream Planter
3 Yellow Bloomin' Cactus
2 Bucking Bull
1 Ice Cream Cottage
1 Animal Ferris Wheel (finally!)

It took me over 26 tries (27 to be exact) to get the wheel, but nonetheless, I still got it!

I only have 2 more out of the collection to win, but I'm stoping after the next 2 hours. I'm going to turn in the last collection then, but that was the plan anyway - regardless if I got the wheel or not. As that's all I wanted, I don't care about wining the dough slime or the pies, even at the start of the event I didn't care for it. But I'm so happy I'm able to take home this wheel. :love_heart:

But I actually lost all hope winning it, due to it being so late in the event. But what a nice surprise!

If you're on IOS - you can store a pet, if you choose to or just want to display another pet.

If you're not, then I'm not sure.

Though do not take this as fact, this is just what I've heard.

Though since I use iOS, I have been able to store pets/be able to store them.

A proud Ferris wheel owner. I hope another collection turn in happens again, specifically the one where you can use the Ladybug building.

Also, I hope that once this event is over, the truck/van moves. As did the flying kite event piece after it was over.

I don't know what pets you have, but are you able to move any of the pets into other habitats? For example, can you move any of the Gnomes into other habitats like the Snow Park, the Reindeer Stable, Mythical Meadow, or Haunted House? Or, if you have Ursa Major or Ursa Minor, can you move them into a Wildlife Den?

If not, you can try rotating through your pets so they each have time on your farm (maybe in conjunction with the season). Or, you may need to splurge and buy a Gentle Gazebo for your extra pets that cannot fit into your already existing habitats.

I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope next turn-in event gives you something you wanted and you don't have to turn in as many to get/possibly get what you want.

Anyway. I got 3 cactuses (at first I was "???") when winning them, but I absolutely like them now. Especially to my uncollected lemon trees.

Final tally...

4 Yellow Bloomin' Cactus
6 Rocky Road Path
3 Carnival Banner
1 Bucking Bull
5 Cowgirl Boot Vase
2 Ice Cream Planter
2 Blue Ribbon Pies
1 Dough Slime

Didn't get all the prizes, but I had them from earlier events, and I wasn't that desperate for a Golden Lure, so I'm satisfied. That said...

Pros
Doable. The event wasn't very long, but it was long enough. I admit to falling behind due to external considerations (like a hurricane in the vicinity), but I was able to finish with only minimal expenditure of gems to get to the end. However, what I couldn't collect on my own, I was often able to find in the Newspaper.
The Pigs. Again. I'm not going to complain about this, because it WAS also connected to the other event. At least players weren't being overburdened by collecting from too many animals.


Cons
The Mine. I don't want to bring this up again, but I think I must. Why? Why are more experienced players being penalized with needing to rely on luck TWICE just for one event item (okay, two, but the drop happens once)? First we need to hope we're lucky enough to receive a Pickax or Shovel from deliveries or from tapping on Moles. Or craft one in the Forge...which takes 8 hours...for just one tool. Then we must rely on luck a second time and hope that we'll get the event drop. Which for some of us is once every 5 tools...or more. I can understand why newer players at lower levels need an alternative option--they may not have unlocked the Mine yet--but why can't the higher-level players also get their drops from the Feed Mills? The drop rate would makes things equal for all players.
Plot Drops. This always fills up my Silo, and it makes it difficult--if not impossible--to find anything needed for deliveries (which are needed for a different event item) because the Newspaper and neighbors' Side Shops are filled with just ONE of the event items, but in large quantities. Instead of dropping either 1 or 2 items, please change it to drop only 1. If players need more items, they can always plant quick-harvesting crops like Wheat and Corn. It is approaching the point that I am dreading participating in these events because I know how frustrating it will be to attempt to make progress with anything, just because there are so many event items up for sale and practically nothing else.
Prizes. This is the "Baked Treats" event. And yet, of the prizes offered, only one has anything to do with baking (Blue Ribbon Pies). Surely, over the past 7 years there have been other prizes made available that better connect to "baking" than an Ice Cream Cottage or an Animal Ferris Wheel? Not that they are not nice prizes, but they stray very far from the event theme.
Dough Slime. I'd let this pass, because dough is an important part of baking. Except...why does this pet apparently also go into Gnome Gathering? How does it count as a Gnome or Elf or Sprite or Fairy or Witch? I don't get it.
Why the Farmer's Outpost? For a while now, events have always ended up using the Farmer's Outpost for crafting. However, with the addition of the Watermelon crafts, the menu for this building is very full. Furthermore, because so much needs to craft there, orders asking for other items from that building need to be discarded because there's no time to craft anything else. Can we either have items crafted in other, more appropriate buildings--honestly, considering this is a "baking" event, the Bakery would have made sense, except that it already has a big menu--instead of only at the Farmer's Outpost, or can we maybe receive an entirely NEW building that is will be used regularly, but ONLY during events? It could be called the "Event Hall" and the menu of crafted items would change for each event. And, considering how we have events ongoing almost every single day, this new building would almost always be in use. Then the other buildings we need could be left free to craft items needed for deliveries, which still contribute to the event because items drop at the Order Warehouse.

Final rating: 3 out of 5. I know some players will disagree with my assessment, but these are my thoughts on this event. And I get it: there's a standard formula for these events, and if it's not broken, then there's no reason to change it. But, there's always room for improvement somewhere.

thank you Stormie

I haven’t won a pet from Turn In 23 type of event in a very long time so I’m very happy to have landed the Dough Slime.

A neighbor told me the Dough Slime is the Marshmallow Man from Ghostbuster. I totally agree.

The SIZE is just SUPER lol I absolutely love it. I play on mini, the caterpillar is literally a DOT ... but the Dough Slime rocks.

I also noticed event items were more readily available in newspaper. I don’t know if drop rates were better this round or players just weren’t interested in the prizes. I was able to buy lots of event items so crafting progress was fairly smooth. To be downright honest, getting the Dough Slime made a huge difference. I’m ready for Halloween lol
