On one particularly fun day in Farm Town, I was over at Mountain Mamma’s farm with neighbors Clara Belle and Mayor Mark. Mamma had created a little race track and the 4 of us has having a ton of fun seeing who could get around the track the fastest. This day happened shortly after the new camera was added to Farm Town.

While our avatars stood there chatting with their  little chests heaving in an out as they caught their breath after the many sprints to the finish line, I had an idea to see if we could get a Farm Town Photo of all 4 of us, each having the words, “Happy Farming” in our talk bubble. Sounds pretty easy right? Well think again…

We did eventually figure out how to do a count-down and get around the chat glitch that prevents you from saying the same phrase over and over. Maybe that is to prevent spamming a farmers chat. Anyway, the photo worked out and so I posted a challenge asking others to get together with their neighbors to see if they could beat our record with their own group of neighbors. To this day, nobody has sent in any “Happy Farming” group photos, much less on that would break our 4-neighbor record.

Well, following our Season One Finale of Farm Town Weekly last Monday evening, friends and neighbors that participated in the live chat during the show and join us on the call all headed to my farm for a little finale party. Sure enough, we all decided it was time to beat the old record.  As you see in the photo, nearly all of us have “Happy Farming” over our avatar and I count 9 talk bubbles out of 10 farmers. A couple other neighbors visited while we were making our attempts but didn’t know what we were doing so they are off to the side. Thank you to everyone who made last Monday such a great time.

Snuggles the Bull and Karma the Cow wanted to be in the photo too, but they had too much crap in their keyboards to participate

Now that you know about the “Happy Farming” Group Photo Challenge, maybe you will either join in next time and help us raise the bar once again. One final note, tonight is of course the Kick-off Episode to Season Two and I will be inviting everyone participating in the show to my farm for some more fun like we had last Monday. We have lots of new items to discuss and I promise a laugh or two so please do join me tonight at 7:30 Central.

“Happy Farming!”
