Again, I would like to thank all of you for your participation in this contest. Congratulations to the winners and I will transfer your winnings within the next day. Now let’s get to the theme for next week. The theme is Homestead’s Bringing In The New Year. So, I want to see how everyone’s homestead is beginning the New Year and finishing off the old one. Are you having a party? Are you finishing up any projects? Or are your animals celebrating?
Similar to the last one, 50% of the liquid sbd will be given to the winner and 25% will be given to second place after the post payout.
