In the game, there are the special festivals where you can participate. It can
be for pure fun, or prizes if you win some contest.

Just so you know, the attending villagers are usually not random. Most people
in the festivals, are ones that have highest friendships with you. So if you
wish to see certain individual in some festival, just befriend her/him, and
s/he will be there. It applies same for other villagers that aren't spouses.

And some festivals will require you shipping a certain item. In order to 
ship some item, just head to Flower Bud Square, and put a item in the blue
shipping bin, next to the sign.

If you see "REQUIRED" in the festival lists, it means you have to ship the
required item listed, in the blue shipping bin (located in Flower Bud Square)

          himslef so the Egg Festival can be held in the first year. Just
          do worry about shipping the egg, only in second year and after.

WHAT:     This festival celebrates the good eggs, and culture about eggs.
          However, I believe this festival is not well-known as other 
          different festivals. It is because of that Egg Festival is only
          one festival that is not listed in the in-game books.

                             SUMMER FESTIVALS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--------------------.
| BEACH FESTIVAL     \________
------------------------------------
WHEN:     Summer 03
TIME:     06:00am - 06:00pm
WHERE:    Moonlight Beach
REQUIRED: n/a
M. NOTE:  "Blue Sea, White Clouds" (only if you win a Swimming Contest.)
SPECIAL:  You will meet Nami here, and possibly Louis if you're lucky. He'll
          participate in the Swimming Contest so you can see him at there. But
          chance of him being there is pretty rare.

WHAT:     Come here to get some tan, and have fun. Well, the major point of 
          this festival is Swimming Contest where you can participate to win
          the prize. Swimming Contest is the mini-game, and there are three
          swimmers (four including you) to compete to win.

    =========================== Win the swimming contest to get the prize.
    = 1st PRIZE : Power Berry = You can compete again in next year to win
    =========================== next prize.

                     SWIMMING CONTEST MINI-GAME
The objective of the Swimming Contest, is to touch all four bouys. There are
the challenges in your way, and they are the competing swimmers, currents, 
whirlwinds, and the dolphin.

CURRENTS = The ocean will change the direction, and push you in one direction.
           You can use the current to your advantage, giving you more speed to
           reach the bouy. But sometimes, they'll pop up suddenly or change
           the direction, pushing you in wrong direction. So watch out.

WHIRLWINDS = They'll pop up in one place, and stay there until it disappears.
             Whatever you do, avoid the whirlwinds. If you got too close, it
             will pull you in and hold you for few seconds.

DOLPHIN = It swims around the ocean, and you can hitch a ride. But you can't
          control the direction where a dolphin is going, so you may end up
          going in wrong direction. I suggest that you do not use the dolphin.

HOW TO WIN - Press [A] to swim, but do not smash [A] repeatedly fast as you 
can. You need to hold down [A] until your swimmer finished its one swim, then
press [A] again for you to swim once again. That way, you will swim quickly.

Use the current to move you to the intended target, and try to not bump into
another swimmer. If you do, you'll stop swimming so it slows you down.

If you still lost, you can always reset the game and try again. Repeat this
until you win.
