Autumn Sports Fair

Unfortunately (but predictably), Butch has moved out of town. I got his goodbye letter in the mail.

Butch's goodbye letter.The autumn sports fair was held today. I didn’t wake up early enough for the first event (aerobics), but I joined in time for the second event, the foot race. In the first race, Belle defeated Genji–a cow outrunning a rabbit?? That’s udderly impossible!

Belle, at the sports fair: My heart's totally pounding! I think maybe I overdid it!Next up, it was Static against Sydney. Static won in a close race.

Candi: All right, I'm done! Can't we just finish this dumb game?While my two favorite villagers, Tom and Hank, were Team Redballs.

At 3:00, the day’s final event started: The tug-of-war. Tom was the flag-waver, while Genji and Robin teamed up against Static and Baabara.

The sports fair only comes twice a year, and even though you can’t really participate, it is nice for a change of pace. It can be amusing to see the animals you like (or dislike) in unique situations that are unlike anything else you’d see in an Animal Crossing game. Happy autumn, everyone!
