Thanks to both of you (I checked inventory guide) obviously the event did not excite me enough to remember and I don't remember trade tickets or expansion permits being listed as a prize...
Off to search my inventory
EDIT: just reread the thread on this. Those awful flowers that didn't drop, some got 5 some got 6, my event drops were so bad that by the time I got to those flowers, I didn't have enough time to upgrade from 6 to 7...oh well, I don't need another item that "randomly" (never) drops expansion and trade items. It would just frustrate me like the 8 or 9 I already have that haven't dropped anything useful in 2 plus months
