Vegetable Festival (HM64)

The Vegetable Festival in Harvest Moon 64 is held in the Town Square from 9am to 5pm on the 9th of Summer. A festival dedicated to showing off the local produce, the player can enter the contest by bringing a crop, or else arrive empty handed to sample other entries. The likelihood of the entry winning depends on the number of that crop that shipped; if 100 or more of the enter crop are shipped prior to the festival, the player will win. Regardless of whether or not the player participates, they can chat with the other festival-goers until the winner is declared.

If the player wins the festival, Basil will visit the farm (if the player's affection with him is high) at the end of the following day to celebrate their win. Doing so will increase his affection more and the day will end (but not be saved).
