Today is Thanksgiving in the United States, which is celebrated in most Animal Crossing games as the harvest festival. I found Mayor Tortimer outside of town hall, along with the tables that are set up for a feast.
He handed me a knife and fork. The object of the festival is to find Franklin the turkey and give him the utensils. He’ll feel that you’re saving him from being eaten, and he will give you a piece of harvest furniture.
You can also give the knife and fork to a villager for a hint as to where Franklin will be hiding. But the hints generally aren’t that great, so I find it’s better to just look for Franklin on my own. Besides, if you give them to a villager, you still have to return to Tortimer for another set to give Franklin.
I soon found Franklin hiding behind Savannah’s house.
At first, he thought I was going to eat him. But I gave him the fork and knife so that he didn’t feel so threatened.
He gave me a harvest chair in return. I returned to Tortimer for another set of silverware, and then resumed my search to find Franklin again. But of course, I also chatted with my villagers along the way.
When I visited Rod, I found his furniture all packed up in boxes! He’s getting set to move out of town. I kinda like Rod, but I’m not upset about him leaving. Good luck in your new home, Rod!
Meanwhile, Twiggy was just chirping nonsense. She said if we had a baseball-playing guppy, we’d be rich.
Benedict wasn’t quite so random; he had food on his mind!
And outside of town hall, Savannah was talking about her bad table manners. She said she eats like she was raised in a barn!
I found Franklin three more times. Of his hiding spots, this one behind a sign post was the worst by far.
He gave me a harvest table, a harvest lamp, and another harvest chair. I sold them all at Nook’s shop, even though they only sell for 3,333 bells apiece–much less than the spooky (Halloween) and jingle (Christmas) furniture.
Anyway, I hope you all had a great harvest festival (and a happy Thanksgiving for those in the U.S.). Thank you for visiting! 🙂
