## **Summer Festivals**

**Summer 1 - Summer Festival**

**Summer 23 - Fishing Contest**
The goal is to catch many fish as you can during this festival period. To participate, talk to Molly in the town plaza between 10:00 and noon. Once the contest starts, you need to catch as many fish as one can before 16:00. You can go fishing at any standard fishing spot (your farm, the mountain, etc.), but just keep in mind that walking to your favourite fishing hole will take precious contest time. Using the post-story teleport feature will help you get to your fishing spot faster.

When fishing, the quantity and size of a fish will earn players festival points. Bigger fish will earn a lot of points, but catching a lot of little fish is oke too. It helps to use bait to increase the size and quantity of fish you catch.

Once in-game time reaches 16:00, the contest immediately ends, even if you're right in the middle of trying to catch a fish. Everyone will gather back at the plaza to learn who earned the most number of points.

If the player wins Fishing Contest, they will receive Marinated Fish.

The winner will be horse that makes 3 laps around the track in fastest time. Player will be the only one on track, so players won't be bumping into the other competitors. Players may be bumping into the hurdles, so make sure you press O button when your horse gets close enough to jump over them. If you run into the hurdles, one will lose your built-up speed.

Grand prize is +300 Heart Points with your horse, +1000 HP with the villagers who were participating, and Amethyst. Second place is +200 HP with your horse, and third place is just +100 HP with your horse. Just for participating, you'll earn +500 HP with the participating townspeople.
