Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well, the major event (Homerpalooza) is over, but that doesn’t prevent EA making us get up before the crack of dawn (at least here in the US)…so much for sleep. But, who can sleep anyway? The County Fair has arrived in our pocket-sized Springfields!
Mini Event Ends September 26th…
Remember, this mini event is an automatic in-game update. HOWEVER, yesterday an app store update hit to remove Homerpalooza. You MUST download the App Store update, to remove Homerpalooza, before you’ll see the new county fair content.
But it is still super early in the morning here…so I’ll fill in this post when I’m a bit more awake later this morning. But for now…Homer and Flanders get things started with a 6s task each. Once completed that will trigger the mini event track.
Tasks for the mini event are 3hrs long and you’ll need to collect ribbons to earn the prizes (as well as other tasks).
This event is premium heavy, so be prepared to spend those donuts.
Mary Spuckler and Amber Dempsey are available for 150 donuts each.
I’ll be back, once the sun has actually come up, to fill in more details and info….
In the meantime share your thoughts about the new update in the comments below…
And now for more details…finally. I’ve played through the whole mini event, got it all worked out. So here’s the deal…
Same situation as always, work through questlines, collect an item to unlock the mini prize track. Nice and simple (I’ll have a questline post up in a little while)…
Here are the prizes and the order in which you unlock them…
Prizes are unlocked via the Pride and Pageantry questline…
Once you’ve completed the prize track and built the farm you’ll unlock the ability to make Corn Fields, Wheat Fields and Plowed Fields (they’ll work like Squidport tiles (and other items) pay money to create them and then wait for them to be ready)…
Now onto the stuff in the store…and there’s A LOT of premium content in the store tied to this event….
New Stuff…
Returning…
And that’s it my friends! The details for the early morning release of the County Fair Mini Event!
Personally, I’m a fan of this one. I think it’s the perfect event for this time of the year, think of all the cool corn mazes you can make before Halloween starts! I know some of you are grumbling that you “wanted a break”…guys THIS IS YOUR BREAK. These mini events are quick and easy to do. They last 2 weeks and should take you less than 1 to finish. So just because there’s new content in the game, doesn’t mean you can’t slow down or take a break from the game. So, relax. Take it slow and enjoy the content. You don’t have to speed through it, you can take your time. Login once or twice a day. Design your Springfields. Enjoy the downtime.
