I enjoyed this Fair and the Rainy Days theme very much. The designers did a wonderful job of having this theme. The only prizes I didn't like were the coins and the pet feed which I felt weren't worthy because they were easily attainable and craftable. I hope the team would consider replacing them with better prizes like limited time items or gold cowbells to be more attractive. I love the animated pond of the animals in their raincoats on the Fair grounds. That would had been a lovely prize. Thank you for giving us this event! I look forward to more events in the future.

Pet feed wasn?t a prize for me

On the whole, the event was generally enjoyable. However, by the last 2 days (for me), it was becoming ridiculously difficult to keep up. Practically each refresh resulted in a request for items that required 4+ hours to craft for 4-5 bucket orders. If those didn't turn up, then it was 1-bucket orders. On this, day 10, I am at only about 8%, and am going to have to pray to get about 92 1-bucket orders because I have exhausted whatever high-value items I had stockpiled.

There needs to be a greater variety of orders being requested, rather than almost consistently high-value items. Even if on day 10 I had to do nothing but 1-bucket orders, that would probably be easier than continually refreshing and losing 30 minutes each time to cancel and replace 5-bucket orders that are impossible to complete in time...and replace themselves with other 5-bucket orders.

Overall I enjoyed the event even though I generally struggle through the last three days of any fair event. It could be mainly because there has been such a long time since we had a new event. The last two days were the worst for me with the most high value items requested. Had a lot orders for blackberry jam, green grapes and numerous orders for maple items. I do think that the number of buckets for each order should be increased from 5 to 10. An example would be 1 rocking horse being 4 buckets but 2 rocking horses would be 8 instead of the current 5.

I too would like to see the coins changed to gold cowbells. At least then I would be able to actually get a hold of one. I really was hoping that the rainwater pond deco from day 7 would have been the same pond that was shown in the county fair. It would have been a lot nicer if the animals were included. I normally do not purchase the boosters but I really wanted them as decorations after the event.

I would like to thank the team for finally giving us a new event and hope that the next event will not be months away.

How irksome! One other thing recommendation for future county fair events: PLEASE put the option to bypass and complete the current day using gems ELSEWHERE on the screen instead of right above the third (from the left) slot's "Refresh" option. I just lost over 170 gems because of it. I finished the event, but I had plans for those gems

I really enjoyed this event. Overall, I thought the prizes were great, although the pet food was not a good reward for our efforts. I didn't have any issues with the number of buckets earned for different prizes but I am only on level 39 so probably not high enough to have that issue. I do agree that I was asked to gather the same items over and over, which was frustrating, and it would have been nice to use more types of the harder to make items.

Thanks a Storm 8 for a great event!

I've just started Day 9 and decided to go back and check the listing of how many gems are required for each day listed in post 1. I wish I had compared this sooner as my Day 9 started with 540 gems instead of 501. That's a big difference!

I've been fortunate that I've been able to meet the requests from my barn or quickly from my newspaper/neighbor's shops.

I'll be leaving my overall comments about the event once I finish Day 10, hopefully.
