Acorn Festival 2018

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and Tortimer Cornimer can be found outside of town hall to officiate the event.

Cornimer: Allow me to introduce myself! I am the mysterious Cornimer!

He gave me my fortune, and apparently I’m a rotten acorn. Or maybe Cornimer is just a nut.

Your secret fortune: Rotten Acorn. Life: Well... maybe... Hopes: You're too picky! Karma: Do 10 laps. Look behind you!

Acorns can be found under many regular (non-fruit) trees around town. My job is to pick them up, discard of any rotten acorns, and give the rest to Cornimer.

While you can put the rotten acorns in the recycle bin, it will quickly fill up. Alternatively, you can sell them to Tom Nook. But he doesn’t pay much for them…only 2 bells each, in fact.

Tom Nook: Let's see, all together, I'll pay 2 bells for everything!

And of course, the villagers in town will also be talking about the event.

Curly: Picking acorns makes my shirt all dirty! That and the sweat stains!

Or in some cases, singing about it.

Big Top, singing: Cornimer's by my side! Wading through an acorn tide!

Bree was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine.

When the number of (good) acorns you give to Cornimer reaches certain numbers, he will reward you with pieces of mush furniture. I gave him a total of 67 acorns, and I scored a mush chair, mush stool, mush end table, mush lamp, and mush dresser.

Last year, it took me six days of playing to complete the set. I don’t plan on doing that again, since I still have my original mush set in my house already.

I just sold this year’s mush furniture.

I saw on the bulletin board that Kiki’s birthday was October 8th (yesterday). Oops, I missed it.

In other news, I have posted my latest ACWW video, Ep. 16. It shows highlights from my town from July through early October, along with some fun and surprises. I hope you enjoy it!
