Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., and that means it’s time for the harvest festival! Believe it or not, I hadn’t played this version on Thanksgiving since 2012! But I sure did today!
Robin’s replacement has finally moved in, and it’s Friga the penguin. She’s never been one of my favorites, and my dislike for snooty villagers in general has been well-documented. 😉
I headed over to the wishing well, where the harvest festival party was going on. Hank couldn’t wait for the main course to arrive…even though he (as a bird) is related to the main course. 😛
Puck, Sydney, Candi, and Belle was also there. Candi said she’s learning who was raised well, and who was born in a barn. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she said this while sitting across from Belle. 🐄
Tortimer was also there, and he made it clear I was not welcome at his house!
I swiped the knife and fork from the table…
…and then I started looking for Franklin. It’s nice that you can get free hints about Franklin’s location from villagers. No silverware required for the hints (unlike in City Folk).
I hunted down Franklin and gave him the knife and fork for some harvest furniture rewards.
I repeated this procedure over and over, finding Franklin a total of six times before I had my fill. 😛
Franklin gave me a harvest dresser, harvest clock, harvest sofa, harvest rug, harvest bureau, and harvest chair. I sold the items for a total of 17,865 bells.
After that, I made a quick stop at the post office and then returned home. I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving/harvest festival/turkey day! See you next time, gobble gobble!
Omg i have candi, carmen and The purple koala too! (I dont remember her name but it start with k.)
I have not played this version of the Harvest Festival since 2014. I have had Friga in Gamecube towns and I don’t like her but not as much as many other snooty villagers and she lives in my New Leaf town. You can’t visit the Mayor’s house because his house is his shell. This is my 2nd favorite Harvest Festival my favorite is City Folk.
Hey jeff. Do you like the harvest festival?
Yes, I do. Halloween can be annoying because the villagers chase you and ruin your items. And Christmas Eve, as pleasant as it is, makes you find Jingle five times before you start getting items. So that’s kind of irritating as well. The harvest festival is my favorite of the three.
