    Things to Remember:
    1. New Goals appear at 5:30 pm Eastern Time
    2. Drops are random
    3. Buy the Bug House if you can.
    This boost item allows you to take an event item and turn it into a different event item.
    Very important beings some machines at the end become stingy!
    4. No one knows what machine or tree is going to give the new day's event item.
    Be ready. Make sure trees, animals and machines are ready for collection at release time.
    5. Have a question? Ask? We have some very experienced farmers with answers.

    Ok I have bought the Bug House and it is animated when working with some bugs flying around it. Oh please let it stay animated when the event ends.

    A neighbour of mine has already turned in a bunch of collections and the prizes are some of the best I have ever seen.

    The pet is a group of four fireflies living in the Backwoods Bayou.
    The ant picnic is animate with ants marching around a picnic.
    The fluttering butterflies is animated and only one square so would make a gorgeous summertime fence.
    The Firefly Jar is animated with three fireflies flying around inside it and is also only one square.

    For me buying the Bug House now instead of waiting for it to go half price is going to greatly increase my chances to get those fireflies! they flit around turning circles...they are beyond cute! Thank You Storm8

    How has your neighbour turned in a bunch of collections when only one collection item has been released?
