Festivale 2020

Viva Festivale! That quirky holiday featuring Pavé the peacock has come around again, so I made sure to have a quick chat with my fine feathered friend.

Pave: VIVA... ...FESTIVALE!

The object of the event is to collect candy of different colors and exchange it for Pavé furniture. You can earn candy by playing (and winning) games with the villagers that are outside. But if you lose those games, you risk losing candy (or bells).

Static: Seriously. I take candy from your pockets. And then I eat it. OMNOM NOM. Like that.

Those games include rock-paper-scissors, heads-or-tails, and “mouth soccer.” This festival can easily take hours to get the whole furniture set, but I only wanted a quick taste of it. So I only played long enough to get one piece of furniture, a Pavé table. I then sold it for 12,000 bells. It’s actually a pretty good holiday for earning money, if you saved leftover candy from last Halloween or Bunny Day.

But Festivale wasn’t the only noteworthy event of the day. Tiffany’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Purrl the cat! I like Purrl a lot, and I also have her in my other City Folk town of Mushroom (which I use for my Mario Plays ACCF series).

Purrl: What, can't you tell? I just moved here, and now I'm trying to get everything in its proper place!
Welcome to Forest!

Tom Nook must have been feeling blue, because the furniture selection today was all-blue. There was an IV drip (which has a blue stand), and also two pieces of furniture from the blue set.

When I rode the bus out to the city, I spotted Phineas there. I asked him for a balloon, and he gave me an orange one. Thanks, Phineas!

Just a reminder that today is the last day of having snow on the ground! Get ready for green grass tomorrow! 🙂
