Tonight, Mountain Mamma, Ms. Kelly and I enjoyed having our friend David (Farm Town Data Sheet) on the show with us once again along with our Ol Friend Colby. The five of us talked at length about a range of Farm Town topics.
For those interested in following us for another season, we have yet to make a final decision but promise to make that announcement on the next episode. Thank you for your patience!
Following an hour of Farm Town discussion, we talked for a while about the website, People of Walmart. The commentary about this popular website was partly just for fun and partly for thought.

This is the last episode of 2009 and Oh Boy did we have technical issues at TalkShoe. Thanks to all of you that stuck with us and seen the show to the end. I do want to mention that on this episode we welcomed April Hinkle, Bill Hamilton, and Roger Haffner to a chair on our honorary Farm Town Weekly Board of Directors and congratulate them each here once again.
We also talked about the “Farm Town Classifieds – Help Wanted Ad” post that can be made from our website and asked folks to give it a try this week. A brief discussion about the current poll on our website and if there is still a need for a “Fire” button. In addition, an array of Facebook topics was discussed from privacy changes to pending changes to profile layouts. Fan pages versus application profile pages and how to disconnect from a group. In spite of the technical troubles with TalkShoe, it was certainly a great evening thanks to having neighbors on with us to share in the conversation.

Thank you to Virginia “Whats Her Name”, Bill, Colby, and Shaggy for joining us on the call tonight. Farm Town Weekly has made the Talkshoe Top 100 List for live participants the last two weeks, by the looks of the chat room and number of callers, I think we are a “shoe-in” to make the list next week.

Farm Town came out with a great selection of Halloween themed items for your farm, now they have the Thanksgiving stuff. Is there anything you think they “missed the boat” on in terms of adding new items for Thanksgiving and, what items do you hope to see added for Christmas. These are the questions we asked our live listeners on this episode of Farm Town Weekly.

Okay it was more of a race than a party, but this was a lot of fun. So much fun that I will be asking our live audience and Farm Town neighbors to join us again on my farm to do it again immediately following our next show on Monday. (more…)
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!”
