Looks like that little guy will go perfect with these two.

Oh the monkey is back.



Umm.. I cannot lie that they're kinda cute. Though i'm kinda surprised it was brought back since a lot of the vocal players didn't like them about a year and a half ago. I mean they were alright (imo) but it was monkey after monkey at that moment in time it seemed. Not only that, but some just straight up thought they were ugly and were very vocal about that. So I'm just... surprised, with every pet Storm8 could've done... they choose a monkey.

Though again, I do find this Macaque one cute with the Snow Cone. The Macaque & Baby monkey is as well. (Again, imo) So I'm not complaining per say, just shocked.

Beyond that, I think I'll buy 2-3 of the Snow Cone Trucks. Since there's no limit, and second, the blue-ish type colour at the bottom of that truck is nice. Same with the lavender colour, though that's secondary to me. It's not my main focus, even though that's most of the colour on that truck.
I would've bough some of the Snow Cone Monkey Signs, but I mean I already got enough signs on my farm. And it's at an angle anyway. I would've preferred if the sign wasn't at an angle. Like for example, the Duck Crossing Sign. Which isn't at an angle. I probably would have bought the signs with no thought if there wasn't that to it.

I want the pig with the snow cone. Hard pass on the monkey.

[judyandthecat]

Watch the newspaper and your neighbour's stores.
There are a lot of event items available to buy.

[TwixAndScones]

When I read the goal section above and what was rewarded, i seen Pink Snow Cone Shrub, as did everyone else. But I assumed it would be more of a green colour with maybe some minor pink detailing. It probably isn't like that if this other Cone Shrub is anything to base it off of.



Ngl... this is kinda not good, imo.



I don't like it. It looks more like a beach ball than anything else. I really hope i am not right in my assumption with it possibly looking like this blue coned one.

[TwixAndScones]

Ok so a neighbour of mine actually has the Pink Snow Cone Scrub. It's actually much nicer than the Blue Snow Cone Scrub. The Pink one has much better colouring. I also found another, but separate neighbour with the Macaque Snow Cone. Again, I do stand with my prior opinion with them being cute. I'm resuming the goal today and will hopefully be able to win the Macaque Snow Cone Monkey myself. I don't personally want to get the pig Giant Snow Cone. Which is a good thing, as I may be lucky enough to even get the Monkey anyway as of now.

Anyway, I'm looking at neighbouring stalls as well. Because I'm too lazy to wait, tap and get the Shaved Ice from the Monkey Pop-ups. So, I will be buying that from neighbours. As not only does it help me saving time, whatever, it also can help them a bit with me buying them.

[TwixAndScones]

I got the Snow Cone Monkey finally!



I was right with not being able to also get the Giant Snow Cone (pig), as I literally just finished (the Monkey part) within the last few minutes.
I did buy 2 of the Snow Cone Trucks, as well as getting a free one, like everyone else, but I now have 3 of them. A bit smaller than i was expecting (the Cone Truck) but technically it was for a one time use anyway. May have got a few more had it been a bit taller.

Well onto the next event(s)! I wonder what may be offered tomorrow.
