How to Play?
https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?88974-Farm-Story-2-Event-Guide&p=1248484&viewfull=1#post1248484

Getting Started
This is a 10 days event. Day 1 starts when you click start. Subsequent days start at game reset time, midnight California time. Complete all 10 days to win the Grand Prize.

How to Play
For each day, you will need to fulfill the orders until you reach 100% on the progress bar.

The 3 orders on your event screen are like our deliveries. Get those items for your orders either by buying or crafting and click [Deliver] button. Once delivered, you will get a new order immediately. It takes 30 mins to refresh if you discard an order. You have 24 hours to fulfill the orders for the day, except for Day 1 depending when you start your fair.

If you fulfill your orders of the day earlier, the order screen will be locked and you have to wait for the next day to start. If your last order is a high value order, your progress will not carry over to the next day. While you wait for next day, you can prepare the order items shown. When the new event day starts at game reset time, your orders will be ready to go all at once.

If you can't fulfill your orders within 24 hours, you can continue to work on it the next event day (except Day 10). However this means you have shorter time to work on the rest of your event days.

Event Prizes
Your event prizes may vary according to farm levels.

Day 1 requires 20 gems - Pumpkin Planter
Day 2 requires 120 gems - 10,000 Coins
Day 3 requires 180 gems - Treat Bags
Day 4 requires 240 gems - Witch Tree
Day 5 requires 300 gems - Barn Upgrade Kit
Day 6 requires 360 gems - Haunted Birdhouse
Day 7 requires 420 gems - 4 Bags Pet Feed
Day 8 requires 480 gems - Scared Pig
Day 9 requires 540 gems - Monster Mash
Day 10 requires 600 gems - Scaredy Scarecrow

Note: Your event prizes can be found in your cellar upon completion of each goal day.

Tips:
(1) Plan and start your event wisely so your last event day (i.e. most challenging day) falls on the day when you have most time to play.

(2) Maximise your Day 1 by not starting your event too close to midnight PST. E.g. If you start your event at 11pm PST, you have only 1 hour for Day 1 before Day 2 starts at midnight.

(3) Before you submit your last order for the day, ensure that your new orders for the next day are doable. Refresh it till you get a doable order or an order with higher value (to hasten your progress for the next day). Once you submit your last order for the day, your orders screen is locked and you can't refresh until the new event day starts.

(4) Ensure your machines are free at each new event day (midnight PST) so you can craft the order items for the new day, if need be.

Note:
(1) Using gems to speed through the days doesn't help if you speed up a few days in between. Unless you speed through all days, the game will force you back to the original 10 days schedule. So either speed through all event days to the completion of your Day 10 or not at all. The last few days, usually the last 2 days, will be the more challenging days. Thus if you want to speed, its best you do so then.

(2) Event orders and prizes may vary according to farm levels.

[Lapetshop7]

My first time doing this! Thanks storm 8

I wonder the boosting last only fews hours or work until event end, or we have to buy boost every 2 or fews hours like leaderboard?

This is a cool event. I do like the Scaredy Scarecrow and hope it can go (also) go into the Gnome Gathering, if it is indeed a pet, so I can place it to my other scarecrow I got last year. The other prizes is also very cool/nice. I wonder if the Scared Pig is a skin or not though.

The scared pig is an animated decoration!

Thanks for letting me know what it was! It's cute with that little toy bear next to it. Wonder how it will look displayed on the farm.

Anyways, I wonder if country fair area thing will stay after this event is over. Like it did last time for the other players that were around then.

Tip
If you are not participating in the County Fair keep your store full and you will be able to make a lot of coins!
Your neighbours will be looking for items to fill their fair orders.

I just completed an order, it was one of the ones that gives the most points, I was at 41% and of course the chicken walked after I sent it and I got no points from it! I hope these roll backs are fixed soon

[Fairyreserve]

Sooooo, lemme guess. iOS only. Right?

Definitely send in a support ticket explaining this occurred during the glitch/tech issues. It may take a little while, but they should be able to return your prizes. Best of luck!

Question about the sets of items we fill for the daily completion.
Is it free to use the arrow in top right corner to ?discard? those items and get a new set?
Thank you, appreciate this farmers forum so much.

Yes, there is no direct monetary cost to request a new order. However, it will take 30 minutes for that order slot to be filled with something new. Use this function if you know you will be unable to fill an order and want to take a chance that the next order can be completed more easily.

Not sure where my post went. Is this for Android or not

Not sure if you have something comparable?

Yep, iOS only. Nothing comparable for Android this time, I'm afraid.

OK,gotcha, thanks.

The county fair area is only a gem grab? How about we either give the space to the players or use it for something than another attempt to get players to buy/use gems?

I love the county fair because I try and stock a lot of product in my barn and all I am doing is giving it but I don't usually use gems?
You refresh for nothing.
I didn't buy the boosts because I have both those items.
If you are a relatively new player though get the ghost flying around the Crystal Ball. It is an awesome animated decoration.
I hope Storm8 gives us a Fair each month beings it was in addition to the usual events.

I was happy to get the Witch Tree from the 2018 Adora the Dinosaur Leaderboard. I won Adora back then and the Witch Tree was the third to sixth place prize.

Another suggestion new farmers if you don't need the land space when clearing leave some of those rocks and trees.
I call it my wilderness area.

This is my first time being able to do the country fair event because when I started playing it wasn't being offered again until now. I can say though that I haven't used any gems for this event. If you refresh the order that's hard to do and wait 30 minutes until you get orders you can fill then you will not have to spend any gems. I have completed each day with no problem. Really no need to spend gems unless you are trying to rush the day. I actually like this kind of event so far!! Thanks storm8 for bringing it back

[judyandthecat]

I really really want the Scarecrow at the end of the fair.
He is going to go perfect with the Walking Scarecrow that I already have.
Opposite coloured shirts too!

[Lapetshop7]

How does the end usually go? The same as the other days or? Probably harder?

Been a long time.
I thought yesterday that I got 10 percent for five candy Corn item and I think today was 8 percent so if keeps decreasing will be harder.
But I have always won the County Fair and I don't think I ever spent gems.
You always need to remember when you are on the last day if the pet was in the Market for sale would likely cost 450 gems. Therefore if it cost me some gems and I really wanted it...

[lennumber1]

One thing I do like about this event is that for me is that the boosts that use the bronze cowbells really are useful in speeding up orders to complete orders to finish each days orders.

[Lapetshop7]

All the other days I was completing each day with no problem, but now I'm a day behind! Either the chicken takes points away after I send the order or the order is impossible to fill so I have to press refresh order.. then when I am able to complete a order, I'm only get like 1 or 2 points ... Ugh.. thinking I might not get done in time

[TwixAndScones]

I am glad that me not being on playing for 2 days didn't set me back. I was still able to collect and get the two prizes (Scared Pig, Monster Mash) I couldn't get when I wasn't really playing on the days they was initially unlocked. If that makes sense.

Anyways, I am glad that the Scaredy Scarecrow can also go into the Gnome Gathering! I paired it with my other scarecrow that was also in that habitat.

I purchased the ghost over crystal ball boost so that I could have another one on farm, when will it show up in my cellar now that event is over?
