I can not see what we can win.

[mearro]

Not sure if it's worth it, looking at the previous event, one still ongoing...
Do you know how many of each should we make?

[Rynetory2]

Hey guys, this event has not start yet so just prepare the crafts if you want. We'll get more details on the prizes etc nearer to date. Craft the amount your barn is comfortable with. I think to start with maybe 10.

[caron7]

Thank you for posting, Funky! Something to work on this weekend. :)

[tuffyjkitten]

Well at least one item takes eggs....I have lots of eggs. Unfortunately those sisal balls are taking up all my space right now.

[judyandthecat]

Hmmm perhaps a county fair...
Judy goes to fill machines with new items:D

[dragonflyTat]

When does it start?

[Niire]

For FYI, nothing on android side. :( Have fun all. :)

[griffithpack]

My plane wants these items in deliveries already - do you recommend sending them? Or saving them?

[FunkyJM]

I can not see what we can win.
Hehe, guess we need a bit patience to find out the prize(s). I hope there will be some nice decoration items to buy with fs2 game coins.

Event hasn't started yet. My thinking is that it will start coming Thursday (but this is not yet known). The new recipes don't take that long to make them so if you wanna send a plane delivery, I would do it :)

[kalosbb]

The one which made in Kitchen will need bass.... :rolleyes:
I rarely got a bass from fishing so far.. Can't image after event started.. Sigh...

I saw we needed bass for the next event and have been making anchovy and spicy bait which is supposed to be the best baits to catch them (although I've caught bass in the past with dough bait even) but as usual with these events, the bass drop rate will most likely be altered to make it harder to make the stew. However there's been quite a bit of bass for sale in the newspaper last few days so I've been making room in my barn and buying them. They'll be hard to come by once the event starts. Keep a look out for them. :)

[RatedArtCom]

Anyone have any idea how many of each would be suitable for the start of the event? I now have:
- 67 Brigadeiros
- 48 Pastel
- 34 Moqueca
- 20 Pao de Queijo
and I'm using the last of my barn capacity to get the number of Pao up to about 30.

I kept about 15 to 20 and leaving my barn space clear for the event in case I need to store event parts. You are very well prepared which is good but don't stress out cos we'll be given time to craft these during the event when it starts.

Yes, agree. Harder to get bass after event started. I also bought some from newspapers yesterday :) and upgraded my barn capacity.

But I don't think anchovy n spicy baits can get better fishes like catfish or bass, because i experienced a spicy bait only caught 1 anchovy -_- I really shocked n can't believe it. And there were several times using anchovy baits just caught also 1 anchovy only. >、<
After that i don't made anchovy n spicy baits anymore, not worth.

[kruimeltje1979]

Loving this event as im a chef in a South American restaurant in Europe and i make all of these recipes! :D

[orleansparish]

A www dang it! I saw those cupcakes two days ago and thought they were for the event with the tree cat. I'm gonna go cook some items now. I wonder what we can win? I'm kinda over cats and dogs. I want something new and different.

I haven't had to use the baits I've made yet as I have a good stock of bass now and 10 stews already made but as I said I've caught them with dough bait before so it's quite random. I've made about 10 each of the event items and am now making stock of items that take the longest to make (such as the lily candles, etc) but am also being careful not to overfill my barn. Hopefully this will save some time during the event and help me keep up :)

You've been busy! Lol. If the next event is the county fair type (in the big area next to the truck delivery building) then be careful not to overfill your barn with event items because if I remember from the last one, the orders will ask for non event items as well. We won't know what type of event it will be until it starts, I guess, but just a heads up on keeping an eye on your barn space.

If you check the descriptions of the event items in your barn, they are listed as a "Limited-time recipe for the 2016 Summer Games County Fair".

I never saw that either Judy! That's what Ive been doing too, making items that take lots of hours. I'm also keeping a look out for items I cannot make myself (such as those from the Sushi shop, etc) and buying them, though I am cringing each time I do because they are so expensive, lol. I'm trying to save up for a fifth feed mill but if I remember correctly, the last county fair was a great help for adding lots of coins to your total so hopefull I'll soon make up for what I've spent. :D

[SallyCat60]

I just remembered something from the last county fair. Didn't we have an extra little swarm of bees who were very generous with dropping items every so often? I hope we have something similar for this one as they were very helpful but of course vanished after the event finished. I was sad to see them go.. I named each little bee and everything... :/ IF we do have a little helper, I wonder what it would be? As its themed on Brazil, the host country of the Olympics, maybe we'll have a little Brazilian animal popping up here and there, or maybe an Olympic runner dashing through our farmyards! :))

When you donate items to county fair I think it is for zero coins but there are usually awesome decorations as prizes and most of the time final prize is a pet...

[mearro]

I liked how in the bee event we could win a set if upgrading tools to increase barn space.

Arghh, I want it to start now, I can barely save anymore items in my barn and I want to know whether the prize is worth the effort.

Oh yes, I think your right! I beleive what was making my cash till ring was the items the bees were dropping. Lots of grape flans if I remember correctly.

Central time is 2 hours ahead of storm 8 time. So right now storm 8 time is 2:06 pm

might I enquire as to why 98 percent of the events are for ios only ? the kitten one before this was too .... If I remember correctly its been 2 or 3 months since android users had an event .......

Yay! Building supplies are some of the prizes! And I love that I can use some of my bronze and silver bells for decorations!

[cella1991]

Look out for torches that appear like the moles/butterflies/otters.

[caron7]

32840Torches give a prize like shovel, gold, balloon tickets, saw, event food so far

[zxzxzp]

You have good eyes. Not seen any torches yet;)
Btw. Does the final prize of the event give two dogs as pets?

[mearro]

Awesome that building suppliers are parts of prizes! The dogs are nice but would be nicer withou their outfit.

Does anybody remember how many of each building tools we can get? Was it enough to upgrade the barn/silo? Like a full set (different for farm level) or a certain number regardless of the farm level (i.e. 4)?

[ReconKat]

Pickaxe, balloon ticket, pao de queijo, 100 coins, 2 gold, and a saw from the torch. I don't have the victory cauldron.

Did you buy the Victory Couldron? I didn't. Maybe that is why no torches!

Yes, the cauldron increases the frequency of the torches. In previous events that booster was worth the gems.

don't like the dogs prize so i'm skipping this event :D
good luck for those who are doing it and have fun ;)

I have a question, please anyone know can tell me whether the summer game orders will request for items that are not yet unlocked at my current level.
Says I'm just at level 25, i cannot have any harvest of bee honey. Will the event orders request bee honey?

From my experience: The Country Fair never asked me items, which I wasn't able to craft myself.

Your fair will only asks you for crafts unlocked at your level, likewise for your train, plane, truck and balloon. So don't worry, just make sure you have all the craft buildings and farm features available at your level.

I don't have the candle maker yet but it keeps asking for candles

[caron7]

I don't have the candle maker yet but it keeps asking for candles

Then the candle maker must be unlocked for your level, I think. If you CAN buy it, it may be asked for. You can usually then pick up the candles in the newspaper or from neighbors your level or higher. Good luck with the event!!

Or you can discard the order, I just did that cause the event asked me to send 2 rubies. I'll save them for later

I bought the Victory Cauldron yesterday but have not seen a torch yet on my farm. Anyone else have this problem?

[LadyFencer]

I bought the Victory Cauldron yesterday but have not seen a torch yet on my farm. Anyone else have this problem?

I got it too. I'm seeing torches but not as many as I expected. In February, the boost for cupids had those little guys all OVER the place. The torches seem to blend in as well. Plus, there's the delivery vans and ribbons/medals providing camouflage. I've found butterflies and moles behind some. Torches probably are too.

[Hanja49]

If you discard a delivery in the county game it says you will loose the current progress. Do I loose the % I have at that moment? What progress will I loose?

[SallyCat60]

When are the orders going to start including the Brazilian foodstuff we've all been making in preparation for this event? I've not had a single order asking for one of them yet. Has anyone else found this happening? It does keep asking for two of everything that take a long time to make though!

[judyandthecat]

No I discard orders and you do not lose your progress.
You just have to wait for the order to refresh like a plane delivery.

I agree that these are blending in well and I am finding far fewer than with the cupids. This picture shows one that blended in with my trees really well. I also get the sense they stay in one place for a long time, where I thought the cupids stayed briefly then moved. So, if you are having trouble finding the torch, you might be stuck for a bit. I wonder if closing and reopening the app will make it move, hopefully to a place where you see it better?

Hi SallyCat,
The orders at the Country Fair asked me twice for the new Brazilian food. 1 Time on day 1 & 1 Time on day 3. I expected it to be asking for the Brazilian food more :confused:

I have the same. It's a bit annoying as I keep saving these Brazilian stuff and my barn is stretched it its limit! And I keep getting more from torches.

[anne202b]

I keep getting peaches/peach items and sushi house food in my orders......I don't have a peach tree or a sushi house. Is this normal?

Plus, I've gotten no Brazilian food in my orders. Hmmmmm?? Smh.

[Hanja49]

No I discard orders and you do not lose your progress.

Thank you Judy!

[mearro]

Why is there a difference between prize amounts? i.e. 10,000 or 3,000 coins on day 1? I got only 4 pet foods on day 3 instead of 8. Could it be that higher levels get bigger prizes? Something about making it more proportional?

[SallyCat60]

I think its like the wedding dogs that move together

Do they take up one space in your dog kennel or two I wonder? I hope we can get a skin at some point to remove the swimming goggles. They look peculiar.

Hi Funky, yes it's a bit puzzling when we were urged to start making them even before the last event finished. Lots of people selling them too. Common problem it seems?

[JonaNineve]

But also lots of people buying them!

The orders for higher levels are more difficult and the crafts take longer to make, not to mention more variety of crafts.

[cella1991]

I did buy the cauldron

[syncler78]

Do they take up one space in your dog kennel or two I wonder? I hope we can get a skin at some point to remove the swimming goggles. They look peculiar.

The wedding dogs only take up one space in my kennel, so essentially I have 4 dogs in that kennel. I expect these Olympic dogs will be the same.

Do they take up one space in your dog kennel or two I wonder? I hope we can get a skin at some point to remove the swimming goggles. They look peculiar.

That would be great!

RE the coins for day 1....I'm level 42 and I got 5000.

I started Saturday morning so I've only finished day 2, but no Brazilian food asked for yet. The only order I've discarded was for a tulip candle as I haven't built the new flower shop yet. It can stop asking me caramel apple lollipops though....way too many of those requested!

Oh and I'm glad the pink leotards were for baby lambs and not adult sheep!

I did not buy the cauldron and am getting torches.

I think everyone should get torches in general, just with cauldron you get them more often.

[Peggyg723]

i bought the cauldron accidently.. but I've been getting lots of torches sometimes 2 at a time.. dropping gold, tickets, tools and brazil items..

[spring_peeper]

don't like the dogs prize so i'm skipping this event :D
good luck for those who are doing it and have fun ;)
(well may be will try for the paints : will wait and see how many paints we will get)

Ditto. Pets are comical and the amount of work needed to get them is going to be, I'm assuming, absurd.

However, love competing for coins and other parts!

I bought the cauldron on purpose but am not getting the large amount of torches I expected based on previous events with boosters. I'm not happy.

[spring_peeper]

I enjoy this event purely due to the fact I'm getting XP's and coins for advancing.

It seems a little peculiar that I've turned in some "big ticket" crafting items (sushi rolls, buttons, etc) only to advance to 10%.

Unfortunately, this has been the case with these events. You don't quite know what percent you will advance with each order. Still, they are relatively low pressure events, which can be done on one's own time schedule. Since I work, I find this preferable to collecting from something every few hours.

I am surprised to again see prizes of silo and barn expansion parts for advanced level players. Many of us are at the max for barn and silo expansions and have been for a very long time. In spite of introducing more crops (notably flowers), more recipes and even the new goats, there has been no allowance for added barn or space. So why give a barn and silo kit upgrade to advanced players? I hope this means those expansions will be announced soon!!

[zxzxzp]

Haha...I think I just jinxed the event! I was thinking I am actually enjoying doing this event at my own pace....n guess what:rolleyes: I send a ton of stuff n got ...ONE golden lure! I thought it would be at least few. My bad;)

[LadyFencer]

Well, I had enjoyed the event until the past two days. The deliveries or whatever to the fair fill so little of the percentage needed. I had lots of items ready to go beforehand, including the ones just for this event. (I got only a handful of requests for those.) Hardly any of those have been requested. Even the orders for two or three ribbons/medals require items that take hours and hours to make--and for just two or three percent. It also keeps asking for stuff I cannot make, like items from the ice cream maker, which I qualify for but cannot purchase because I had that goal to get the peach trees. It took me nearly two days to earn the upgrade parts. I'm at 43% of the next skin. No way can I complete this event. I wanted the dogs, but I can't say I'm truly disappointed as I know how these events work and did not have high hopes even though I have finished all the previous fair events. Sigh. The setters would have had fun with the turtles at the pond.

Same here, LadyFencer. I've made so many things that take forever and reward you with very few medals, and as soon as you have made them they are swallowed up by the orders, then asked for again! I seem to be skipping most orders now, and waiting for it to ask for items that my barn is actually full of! Im getting orders for things for the sushi shop that I don't have and won't buy on the market as I'm trying not to use too many coins. I'm not going to make the dogs I don't think as there is not enough time left. But I'm going for the calf skin just now and if possible, the gold lure if there isn't another time delay to wait out. I'm not worried about the dogs, they're not all that cute. I'd rather have a new feed mill or a pony, to be honest. �� Maybe next time.

I won some barn upgrade parts but not enough to actually upgrade my barn and what I did win just took up more room!

I didn't have enough gems to buy the cauldron and am glad I didn't as it seems not to have been the asset it was advertised as. I have been getting around two or three torches per day, but I've not been playing all the time. Seems it would have been a waste of gems to me

I just finished the calf skin stage and I'm immediately on the golden rule without the time delay. I was pleasantly surprised. I doubt I will get dogs but I'm not too crazy about them so it's ok.

[gerrywerry]

I got the dogs earlier. They look way too large IMO, especially joined together!

I didn't get asked for hardly any of the event food so will be selling it off later. I did buy the cauldron and have been getting a lot of torches, 2 at a time sometimes. Gold and balloon tickets seem to my most frequent prizes.

I've finished as well. I agree the event took a lot of high production time items for little value. I wish the newspaper refreshed faster or had more pages! I added neighbors so I could be a frequent shopper.

I didn't see as many torches as I'd hoped, even with the cauldron purchase. My most frequent prize was event food or 100 coins. I got 23 balloon tickets, some saws, pick axes and gold.

Speaking of event food, please remind me what happens after these events? Should I just sell the food in my shop now to clear out my bursting barn? I made it in advance, but that turned out to be unnecessary, as it was rarely requested.

[zxzxzp]

I got my dogs too:) Im happy. Cause I don't have much pets and glad to get it. This is my second event of this kind. Since I didn't have too much coins. I made what I could. Bought stuff. But kept refreshing to get better orders. What I liked is that I could sell stuff too and the shop kept moving. I think I like this kind of event the best of what I have done so far. Waaaaay better than the stress of collecting things and drops that don't happen! I wish the praizes were more substantial especially the parts.
Congrads to all who got the pets! And all the best to those who are still trying...

[WINDHAMHILLS]

What do I do with the food in my inventory that was specifically for this event? I would like to free up inventory space if these items are no longer needed for the game.
I completed the event on the last day of the event, got the dogs, and now the fairgrounds says the event is over. But I am still finding the torch and receiving prizes from it, so I'm afraid to sell the foods in case they are still needed.

Added later - I didn't have as much food as I thought, so I just sold it all. More than half of it is gone already, selling quicker than I expected since the fair is over. All that's left is 4 cupcakes and some of those round things that look like chicken nuggets.

Question - What is that pathetic animal on the fairgrounds supposed to be? It looks like it's shackled to the ground and is trying to escape! That poor thing has disturbed me during the entire event.

Do you mean the calf?

[addyg1128]

So mad at myself. I had the progress bar up to 70% last night to get the dogs and I fell asleep waiting for my orders to refresh. 😭

[WINDHAMHILLS]

Yes, now that you say calf, I can see that it is. I'm playing on my cell phone so it's tiny.

[mearro]

The event is over yet I still get torches, not that I'm complaining :)

[judyandthecat]

The event is not over for everyone...will depend when you started.
So great advantage to get more free items from torches and selling event items to those still doing the fair.

[ragingray]

Yea, i was in the same position, i was glad to get the upgrade parts, but when i did go to upgrade, it was for silo parts, would have been nice IF they gave that ultra rare "Paint" so it actually took up room until day 10, ie today for me, when Stormie sold the paint i needed.

[Natasha_07]

50% to go to get the dogs, I can't advance because I'm out of stuff and no coins to buy either...

Really? So you start the event at different times? The kitty event was for the same time, no?

Can you recheck your cellar and send an email to support@storm8.com if it's still missing.

[Allie0105]

I notice some of the items offered (eg Badminton court etc) during the Summer Olympics are locked under the cowbell items. Is there any chance they will be released again?

Let me check on why they are locked. Thanks for pointing it out.

Edit to add: They were removed from our Market. Perhaps you could add the items which you like to your post? :)
