Congrats ss0209 !
and thanks for collecting and publishing the task info so that I could plan ahead - I was concerned that I was getting drawn into something that I couldn't complete, but I discovered that I could complete it and did so in 5 days, and for one of which I was out all day. The other days I was in and out, as I work from home.
Final deco tally is 12 thickets, 1 camp, 1 bridge on my main farm and 5 thickets, 1 camp and 2 bridges on my new gourmet farm.
Main farm spec -
6 L2 fields
3 L1 & 2 L2 coops
1 L1 sty
4 L1 byres
L2 silo
L4 mill
L2 composter
Happiness cost discount was about 50% at the start and is now 87%, but the funny thing is, replacing all these decos has given me the sneaking suspicion that 50% is probably about the optimum in terms of space used and cost.

yeah Daytona, with proper planning we are able to complete without any gold/minimum gold usage.
I have just 1 apple orchard and 1 cherry orchard in my farm.
For the first task it took lot of time, mostly havests at that time bought none firewood. For the entire first day i was build the decors only.
Next day morn I had some extra happiness so added a L1 house and an apple orchard (Both of which i removed by the end of second task, to equalize fetilizer production and consumption & to increase happiness).
Simliarly for the 4th i kept cow feeds at night and last, While working on the track collection i made sure i have sufficient grains for this.
for 5th i used corn production and chick feed production. Its used for the 6th task.
Thought i was out for 2days, i was able to finish with proper planning. On the off days i got very very less tracks and maps from wheat growth and cow feed production.
By proper planning this event was able to complete around 4 days with no/minimum gold.
@Prince MAnish & @Mai,
Thanks friends.

Neema... the aplle task was to donate the apples... HAve you donated them. There will be a hand button you need to click on that and donate.
I think you misunderstood and simply collected the apples.
Hope you complete all the tasks successfully in the upcomming events.

neema, yes ss0209 is right. You had to make the apples available by clicking the outstretched hand 
Better luck next camping trip

Yeah, losing the 700-odd gold was bad enough, but losing the sense of achievement was worse.Oh, no, not you as wellPerhaps all the best players do it montuos - it cost me 129 gold to skip 4,555 eggs and took away the sense of achievment. ... Effective & tiresome psychological manipulation.

I did that some too, because I sell my eggs and apples automatically, since every apple harvest is more than my barns hold (three orchards), and the eggs overflow them every third harvest. It's muscle-memory. Ditto the way I keep planting cabbage instead of corn and vice versa, depending on whether I've just scored some rose seeds, or just finished sowing the last of them.Hehe I did that too ! It's funny - or is it worrying ?! - how we operated the game almost subconsciously which is great when we have to do the same things over again, but disasterous when things change !
