Month: November 2025

I received Fang’s goodbye letter in the mail today. So long, friend.

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. (aka Turkey Day), and the game celebrates the occasion with the Harvest Festival. I met up with Tortimer outside of town hall, where there were banquet tables set up with dishes, fruit, drinks, and silverware. Mr. Mayor was looking forward to gorging himself silly.

Deena was also excited about the festival. This was before it officially started, though.

I cleaned out my upstairs room, moving out my Jingle furniture. In its place, I put my harvest furniture set from last year (except for the dresser, which I still needed). Those items have been on the ground in front of Nook ‘n’ Go for a full year now, so it’s good to finally have it cleaned up. 😆

As for the Jingle set, I left it out for my other character, Scott. His storage was full, so I just plopped it all down in his house.

At 3:00 p.m., the event officially started, and I got my first set of silverware from Tortimer.

So I began my search for Franklin. It didn’t take long, because his first hiding spot of the day was not only close to town hall, but it was right behind a sign post. He’s so much easier to spot when he hides behind these. 😆

Of course, I also chatted with my villagers too. Big Top knew about the fork and knife, but he wondered what to do with the spoon. He had an unusual idea, though…

I continued to find Franklin repeatedly, scoring more harvest furniture left and right. But a couple of times, I resorted to asking for hints when I had trouble tracking down the turkey.

After collecting about 10 items from Franklin (still without getting the dresser I needed), I took a break for a bit. When I returned, it was already dark out. But it only took me a few more tries before I finally got the dresser.

In all, I got 14 items from Franklin: Ten pieces of furniture and four wallpapers! I kept the dresser and sold everything else for 34,797 bells.

And of course, I put the dresser in my upstairs room to complete the set.

I’ve also added this screenshot to my new ACCF Harvest Festival Guide.

I hope you all had a successful Harvest Festival/Turkey Day! And Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃 Thank you all for checking out these blogs and watching my videos, I appreciate it! 😊

I received a letter from Biskit in the mail when I started up the game today. He is over his cold now, and he sent me a kiddie wardrobe to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

Antonio told me he hears weird cartoonish sounds coming from his body when he’s lying in bed. That’s funny, because I’ve had that happen too! 😆

He attributed the sounds to a growth spurt, but then he wondered if he accidentally swallowed a TV. 😛

Over at Able Sisters, I decided to buy a straw shirt. It may not be the best looking shirt, but I wanted something different. And it certainly fits the autumn season!

When I went into Fang’s house, I was surprised to find the wolf packed up! He’s moving away, without giving me any advance warning. He only lasted four months in Forest, which is quite disappointing.

Rosie asked me for a fossil, so I gave her a pachy skull that I dug up today. She was very excited about it, and she rewarded me with 528 bells.

Later on, I returned to the game to catch K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he played “K.K. D & B” for me.

When I checked the recycle bin, I found an arcade machine and a gargloid. I gave the gargloid to Brewster for storage. Surprisingly, it was one of just a few gyroids that he isn’t already holding for me. I want to complete his collection at some point.

I’ve posted two ACCF videos since last week, including City Folk Moments #30:

And the other one is my annual slideshow. Here is The 17th Year in Pictures:

See you next week! Have a Happy Thanksgiving/Harvest Festival! 🦃

Last Sunday, I played again to try to save Big Top (if necessary). But he still didn’t mention moving, so I’m pretty sure he’s safe for now. Some of those bits of dialogue just don’t sound as conclusive as they apparently are. But after chatting with him for a bit, I took this photo of him…and my cat constellation up in the sky.

Yesterday, Mom sent me a letter about it being the season for catching colds. She actually sent me some medicine with the letter.

Today, the November fishing tournament was held. It was a carp-only contest, and Antonio informed me that he hasn’t caught many carp…up his nose. I would never have even thought to fish there!

Big Top told me about a dream in which he won the tournament. He was congratulated by a giant carp who shook his hand. 😛

Monty asked me for some white furniture, so I tried giving him a mush TV that I found while picking mushrooms. He was happy with it, and he rewarded me with an exotic wall.

Biskit was sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Sunday, Wednesday, and yesterday. By today, he was over his cold. He thanked me, and he said he’ll send me a reward in the mail (since my pockets were full).

I caught two carp for the tournament, and I took them over to Chip. They measured 32.2 inches and 28.6 inches. However, neither of them topped Big Top’s top catch that was 32.9 inches. So I did not win this tournament.

I don’t know if that was the final result or not, but it looks like Big Top’s dream may have come true! Well, except for the handshake from the giant carp.

I recently posted a compilation of my top eight tarantula moments in Animal Crossing: City Folk. If you’d like to check it out, here it is:
