I was doing some farming with a few of my favorite Farm Town neighbors and had an idea. Let’s see if we can get a photo with all 4 of our avatars saying, “Happy Farming” at the same time.

The idea seemed simple and all I had to do was ask and my good neighbors were all kind enough to indulge me and play along. After the first 3 or 4 attempts however, I began to wonder if it was even going to be possible. Understand that whoever takes the picture has to send “Happy Farming” through the Farm Town chat, then take the photo before the words disappear from their avatar, keeping in mind that they will also need to switch to the new “Window” option on the camera so the photo is zoomed in enough to be able to read the text and see the avatars.

As you see we eventually did succeed. This photo was not edited except that I added clearer labels so you could see who is in the picture. It looks a lot easier than it really is and I had to hit the little red (X) in the upper right corner of the photos that didn’t work out so as not to post those to my facebook page. When I finally seen one with each of us having the words “Happy Farming” over our avatar, I sent it to my wall and was thrilled with how well we all cooperated in order to make it happen.

Just for fun, I want to challenge all of you farmers to get together with as larger of a group of your neighbors as you can and attempt your own “Happy Farming Group Foto” No cheating with Photoshop or other image editing software. Another little rule, if even one farmer in the photo does not have the talk bubble over their avatar, you have to try again. As you see, the record as of this post is 4 neighbors.

Are you up to the challenge? Can you get more than 4 neighbors in your Happy Farming Group Foto? If so then let me know and we will add your record breaking photo to Farm Town Weekly and raise the bar on any other farmers that are up to the challenge.

As always, Happy Farming!
