Throughout the day of the Winter Gala, the Cranberry Collection Contest begins, scattered across the island are 40 cranberries, waiting to be discovered. Depending on how many you collect, rewards range from a modest sum of money to significant social boosts with the villagers. It's a delightful way to explore the island, and who knows what secrets you might uncover along the way!

As evening falls, the Town Hall becomes the center of festivities. Don't miss the punch bowl at the event - it's not just a drink station, but also an indicator of your success in the Cranberry Collection Contest. The more cranberries you gather, the more full the punch bowl is!

We're incredibly excited for you to experience these winter festivities in Echoes of the Plum Grove. Remember, the Gala is just a glimpse of the myriad of events and surprises that await you in Honeywood.
