Year of the Horse Quest and Money Bag Collection Mission

Here is the annual Lunar New Year Quest that many of us await with expectation.  There are three special New Year items as rewards for this one.  One is a Collectible that gives Colourful Tangyuan to use in special festive dishes.  The second is a festive Chinese New Year Snack Table for Darryl's House.  The final reward is a Gold Bearing Pony Decoration.

This February will mark the start of the Year of the Fire Horse.  It promises to be a dramatic year of change.  One prays it will bring change for the better.

Note from Freyashawk:  I was absolutely stunned to discover my farm had reached Number 1 in the Farm Beauty Contest.  It moved me to tears.  In the real world nowadays, I lead a rather isolated life, hampered by physical disabilities that really have not improved much despite my best efforts.  I therefore am extremely grateful for the friendship and support of those farmers in Seaside who took the time to vote for me and not only that, reach out often when I am ill or anticipating yet another surgical procedure.  It is those votes that got me to the top frankly.  I always do everything possible to make certain my farm has maximum votes from the four members of Darryl's family.  This means I will make the requirements myself whenever I can for the ordinary rewards.  With the new limits on votes, however, rank now is determined by neighbour votes and the new rules mean that I had to receive 100 votes daily from my neighbours.  In the past, a day with fewer votes could be made up with more votes on another day.  This no longer is the case.
What is truly amazing is that the contest began on a day when I was caught unexpectedly by the new rule determining rank by landscape points when there are ties in votes.  I had no idea they were implementing that and had no time that day to alter my farm radically to achieve the new maximum of 60,000 Landscape Points.  That I reached Number 1 with my existing LP total stunned me but it is your victory, my dear friends as much as mine.  I have participated in every Farm Besuty Contest since the beginning.  Many many times, the top ranks were not honestly achieved.  Whatever the future holds, I am immensely grateful for this achievement after so many years.  Heartfelt, truly heartfelt gratitude.
