I looked, and don't have any 3 x 2 decorations on any farm. I have 3 x 3s, 2 x 2s, and even 1 x 1s.
Where does one find a 3 x 2 ? There are none on the build menu.
Will I be able to play at all?
Thank you.

@GrammaLeah (US1) The main source for 3x2 decos are the top awards in hard work events.

@WascallyWabbit answered it would be an individual event for level 50 and above.  It will include products from all three main farms.

All of the Scuptures on the 57th and 58th floors, plus Love Birds (50th floor), many decos on the 45th floor, the High Striker (43rd floor), the Pinata (40th floor, supposed to be available through the Forum, but I've never seen a contest for it?).. May be a few more that I missed by just a cursory glance through the deco tower.. 

@Southern (US1) No you have not missed that one, the Pinata & Signpost were the last 2 that nobody had & we gave 14 Signposts out for the New Year's Honors list in January - You have the biggest collection of those special decos, we will have to give out the Pinata when you are on vacation hehe

Ah, so it IS for high rollers only.
Ok thanks, won't pay any attention to it then.

Couple more questions about the new event:
1) is the village happiness count somehow or only the normal happiness?
2) Some of the gratuities will count the stall as a deco. Does this deco have any happiness value or just zero?

The boosters have been taken away from the village WOF . Nice work  , first time seeing a properly balanced  event  . 
Having mixed feelings  about it .
But it only gives now 45, 70, 100 and 150 points for which noone is going to spin  .

Not at all. The decos are only used for *Bonus* points (Pennies); you can still play the event entirely without ANY decos, if you want to.  And the 3x2 decos were only one that one stall in the screenshot, and even that's random - it could have just as easily been wanting 5x5 decos. You may not even get a stall that wants 3x2 decos for bonus points.

@mia111 (GB1) 
1.The happiness makes visitors, the VH has no effect that I am aware of.
2. Those 2 reward on the announcement are specifically for quality level , useful if you are collecting that level, I have asked if there will be decos with other values too, such a deco with x amount of happiness or a deco a specific size, but we do not have an answer yet.

@Southern (US1) That is not quite right, you need decos for happiness....Happiness = visitors .... Your ultimate goal is to collect as many pennies as possible & once you have charged up your stall with time, it will collect pennies per second per visitor, at the basic rate shown for that stall. The gratuities give you bonus's that boost various things, so you can play the event without doing any of the  gratuity tasks, but you can't play it without any decos.

Sorry, I should have said *specific* decos.. like the aforementioned 3x2's, or 5x5's, or 4x3's, etc. Happiness brings visitors, but you can achieve that happiness with any deco, it doesn't need to be the specific ones called for in the individual stall - those are just for bonus points (Pennies). At least that's how I understood it. If I'm wrong please let me know.

mia111 (GB1) said:
Thank you Wabbit. If it happens not to be a bug, please tell them to reconsider, because finding any deco by "the order they were picked up" is much much harder that searching it by quality level or other easier to spot order.

@mia111 (GB1) There might be some good news in tomorrows update. 

@Southern (US1) Ahh yes "specific" would have made all the difference hehe & yes, the gratuity tasks are optional.

I have another question to add for the pleasure park event.

The decos in our drop box which have not been built yet can be used for the required decos on the deco park?  Or does each one have to be built first.  I really don't want to build what is in the drop box just yet, I don't really know which farm I want to place them on yet.  Thanks, Suzy!

What about the gate and the fence? Doesn't the happiness count? Shouldn't it count? Otherwise, what is the point of upgrading them?

Who comes up with the names for these events?

Pleasure Park... sounds like a good name for a cat house, you spend to make going there more pleasurable...!

@SuzyQ22 (US1) No the functions of the deco valley remain the same, the event just gives it more of a purpose.

@mia111 (GB1) Excellent question! - We were told originally with the deco valley that the upgrades were purely cosmetic, but the happiness does indeed now count towards visitors for the event, so everyone get upgrading!!

When they introduced Deco Valley they warned that upgrading the fence and gate made no difference. Instead of designing a non-ugradable option, they just copied the code from the Gourmet Farm. We were told not to upgrade it because the happiness counts for nothing. But your point is interesting. If we need happiness for the PP, then maybe they could introduce that feature.

@mia111 (GB1) The other mods are telling their communities about the fence & gate too, we are sending you a Community deco as a thankyou for raising the issue.

Yaay have both of them upgraded to 7 , thought i wasted my dollars but atleast it will help a bit   in that event . The upgrade times are superlong for it .

Pleasure Valley?? Seriously you couldn't come up with a better name??? 
Sounds like a porn flick !!! 
Come on I can't be the only one that thought this LOL 

OK joking aside..................... Can we at least see the prizes offered before we jump in to our gold stash? See prizes for next horse season, and like them

Hi,
Just logged onto deco farm after the update and could only leave by going to Map.
Was then stuck on Map.
Anybody else having this problem.
Have informed rest of players in my coop to stay away till know more.

Thank you

@catsclaw (GB1)  did you click on Greta, the landscape lady? if so see this thread.

@catsclaw (GB1)

The same thing happened to me when I went to my Gourmet Farm earlier.  I had to reload the game to escape!   Oddly I had no trouble going to the deco farm and back. 

Seeker1 (US1)

Also,  I am unable to look through my decos at the inventory drop box, it will revert back to a previous page.
I.E. I click through to page 7 8 9, but then it always changes back to page 4 ?!?!?!?
ITS BROKEN 

Edit:
I'm thinking this could be a separate issue from Greta since I have noticed they've added buttons to advance the pages.

A)   What is the "%" column in the member rankings for the Fair?

    Do I need to have decos in the deco valley in order to get to play the new deco event?

I have no happiness meter on my Decoration Valley!
