There are several games where the player can earn [[File:Token.png|24px|link=]]Star Tokens, a currency that can be exchanged for prizes at the Shop near the entrance to the [[Bus Stop]]. The maximum number of tokens that can be held is 9,999.

The purchase limit on each of the available fixed stock items is 1 (until next year when they replenish). Therefore, the maximum number of Star Tokens that may be used for the fixed stock is 4,900 (2,900 if they have already purchased the [[Stardrop]]). The Shop will be fully stocked again the following year, with the exception of the [[Stardrop]] which may be purchased only once. Star tokens do not carry over from the previous year, but the grange event can be repeated to earn more star points.

The Fair also has a Grange Display contest where products of the farm can be shown to gain Star Tokens. Talk to Mayor [[Lewis]] when ready to have the products judged.

All of the Grange Display items can be picked up after judging, but they will '''NOT''' be automatically returned to the inventory. If the player leaves the items behind in the Grange Display, as of {{version|1.5|version 1.5}}, they can retrieve them later in the [[Mayor's Manor|Lost and Found]].

North of the fair by the fountains, [[Gus]] can be found cooking [[Survival Burger]]s, which the player can eat to refill their energy bar, but this won't be noticeable until exiting the festival.

|At the Spinning Wheel, the player can bet Star Tokens on whether the spinner will land on green or orange.
Players can quickly earn the star tokens required to purchase all items in the shop by betting green, since the mathematical probability the wheel will land on green is 75%, versus 25% for orange. The probability is not a guarantee for any single roll, however. For efficient profit while protecting against losses, always bet half of the current stars. This can be calculated using the Kelly criterion for bet sizing:

To participate in the showcase, '''bring up to 9 items''' to put in the grange display which best showcase the player's abilities. The display will be judged on the quality and diversity of the items, and is rewarded with star tokens based on the place achieved. Items can be retrieved after the judging is completed.

In a multiplayer game, there is a single display for the farm that is '''shared by all players'''. Only one player may interact with the display at a time - if a player is putting or removing items from the display, no other players may interact with the display. Once the host is satisfied with the display, they can initiate the judging by talking to Lewis. Lewis will score the display, and all players will receive the same placement. Once the judging is complete, each player '''must separately talk to Lewis''' to receive the Star Tokens.

It is always better to try and fill all nine spots, even if the items submitted are uncategorized (trash), since leaving any spot empty will lessen the overall score.

====Categories====
There are eight categories of items recognized by the Fair: '''Animal Products''', '''Artisan Goods''', '''Cooking''', '''Fish''', '''Foraging''' (including '''Flowers''' and '''Tree Saps'''), '''Fruits''', '''Minerals''', and '''Vegetables'''. Each category represented in the display earns 5 points, up to a maximum of 30 points. This means only six of these categories need to be filled to maximize the score.

====Sell Price & Quality====
A number of points for each item are awarded based on its sell price and quality, with a maximum of 8 points per item. The sell price used in-game is the actual sell price, not the base sell price. For example, a gold-quality item with a base sell price of {{price|200}} would earn points for having an actual sell price of {{price|300}} AND for being gold quality.

Assuming that nine items, each worth 8 points, are submitted and that the items represent at least six unique categories, the highest score obtainable is {{#expr: (14 + 8*9 + 9-2*0 + 5*6) }} (14 + 72 + 9 + 30). Getting the maximum score of 125 is only possible if one has access to [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]. Out of the eight categories that exist, six contain 8-point items: Animal Products, Artisan Goods, Fish, Foraging, Fruits, and Vegetables. 8 point Vegetable items are only obtainable with [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]. Without deluxe fertilizer to grow iridium quality crops, the next best vegetable item is the iridium-quality fiddlehead fern, at 7 points. Because of this, the highest score obtainable without access to Deluxe Fertilizer is 124.

Once the judging is complete, make sure to retrieve the items from the table, as they are '''not''' automatically returned. However, the items can be retrieved at the Lost and Found in the [[Mayor's Manor]] should the player forget to retrieve them before leaving the fair.
