🥔 Speed eating 🥔WHY IS THE KITCHEN SO SLIPPERY LOL Turbinado (brexed by Rho) finished his favourite flavoured bowl (Mythic Silence bone bowl) in 8 minutes 48.65 seconds (including the time it took to align himself). He took a pause with a few crumbs left, but idk if PFM made labs food-oriented like they are in real life or something, but as soon as I held it to put it away he quickly regained interest and polished it off! you can always trust a lab to eat that's for sure! 🥔 Variety is the spice of life 🥔
i completed this task with Kalon, my sweet lil velveteen adopted from Bunni! her favourite foods are cheese and fish, so it was no surprise that she gravitated toward those over the turkey. she wasn't particularly hungry when this challenge started I gathered, as she didn't show interest in the food until prompted toward it! she loves playing with her food before eating it (typical baby <3) elapsed time for her to even sniff and interact with the turkey bowl ( edit;; after eating from the two others) was 4 minutes 18 seconds **, but then I had to leave for my own dinner LOL! we didn't get to hang around long for her to have another try at the turkey, but she was so full from the catfish by then anyway. which is just fine <3 * [fail!] 🥔 Speed snacks 🥔
Pecan insists that pecans should be the dominant fall food staple. She musters as much spice as she could to take out her competition, devouring 13 of these bad boys. She would've eliminated more, of course, but this fierce lil lady had to show them who was boss before finishing them off, throwing them in the air and grappling with them to establish her alpha status.

Eating contests are now closed! The new activity for the week will be announced shortly.
Everyone who participated gets 1 point, winners of each challenge get 2 bonus points (for a total of 3)! Everyone tried very hard (and it was really fun to read everyone's brave attempts) but who did best? Drumroll, please...
Winners: Speed eating - nebula ☃️'s Turbinado won this one, somehow defeating the bounciness and eating the whole thing in under 9 minutes!
Variety - nyro's Smore is the gourmand pet here, who sampled a few bites from each bowl in just 2 minutes and 42 seconds.
Speed Snacks - Megan@Xoops ❄️'s Nadeem must really love treats, because he managed to eat a total of 43 treats in the assigned time.
Congrats to Turbinado, Smore, and Nadeem! And a big thank you to everyone who participated, I hope you had fun

A Day at the Races
This week, four brave woodland critters will race each other for glory. They're currently training hard and you can start placing your bets. This week, there will be two different ways you can earn (or lose) points.
You can win points by supporting your contestant. Simply post one (or more) banners, posters, or otherwise something you'd like me to display during the race. Each show of support gets you 1 point.
You can win points just by naming a favourite to "bet" on them. If your favourite wins, you'll net 3 points.
You can win points by betting points (either ones you already have or those you might get this week from your posters/banners/etc.) Simply choose an amount of points to bet and you'll get the 3 points AND 2x your bet! If your favourite loses, you'll lose the points you chose to bet.
Ok, ok, but who are the contestants?
Meet your racers:
This hedgehog is the larger of all racers, but still managed to squeak under the size limit. His hobbies include taking naps by the fire and playing pinochle.
This weevil is an acorn weevil and therefore greatly enjoys acorns. He hopes to use his winnings to procure more acorns. His interests include acorns.
This little mouse is a fun-loving creature who's racing just because. When she's not playing, she enjoys the works of Immanuel Kant.
To participate: - If you want to submit posters/etc. name which contestant you're making them for. You're welcome to post multiple things in one post or spread them out through the week, whichever works for your schedule!
- If you want to bet, name your favourite pet. If you're betting points, include how many points you'd like to bet.
This event will close on October 9th.

I think you're thinking of ECRose's booth, that's the one with the mug activity featuring those mugs! The one I had at the start of the festival was a more general "autumn pictures" thing

Change of plans! The weevil race will now be open until October 16th. I know it's not the most popular event, but things have come up that mean I might not have enough time this weekend to open a whole new event and wrap up this one.

My favourite racer is the hedgehog, especially because he enjoys playing pinochle.
