There are several games where the player can gain Star Tokens, a currency that can be exchanged for prizes at the Shop near the entrance to the Bus Stop.
It is worth noting that you can only purchase one of each item from the shop per year. Therefore, the maximum number of Star Tokens that may be used is 3,400 (1,400 with the Stardrop). The Shop will be fully stocked again the following year, with the exception of the Stardrop which may only be purchased once.
The Fair also has a contest where products of the farm can be shown to gain Star Tokens. Talk to Mayor Lewis when ready to have the products judged.
The player can eat the food to refill their energy bar, but this won't be noticeable until exiting the festival.
Play the Fishing Minigame to catch fish. Each caught fish gives between 15 and 25 points. Any non-fish item caught gives 1 point. You will get bonus points for perfect catches. This is the most cost effective way to earn Star Tokens. It is possible to make over 200 Star Tokens per data-sort-value="50">50g spent. You can play as many times as you have money for.
Shoot with your Slingshot the targets. Each target gives different points — red targets give 1 point, blue targets give 2 points, and purple targets give 5 points. At the end, you get a point multiplier based on your accuracy. An accuracy of 100% provides a 4x multiplier. It is possible to win 250 Star Tokens per data-sort-value="50">50g spent. You can play as many times as you have money for.
Smashing Stone
Free
At the Smashing Stone you can test your strength by clicking the stone at the right moment when the bar hits the top or bottom. For hitting the top or bottom, you get one Star Token.
Token Seller
data-sort-value="50">50g per Token
At the Star Token Seller, you can buy Star Tokens for data-sort-value="50">50g each. This is the least cost effective way to earn tokens, but time-wise, it is the quickest way.
Clairvoyant Booth
data-sort-value="100">100g
At the Clairvoyance Booth, the Fortune Teller will tell you events from the future for data-sort-value="100">100g once. This information is based on the Social Status you have with the villagers. She will tell you something about whichever two villagers are at the top of your Social menu.
Spinning Wheel
Varies
At the Spinning Wheel, you can bet Star Tokens on whether the spinner will land on green or orange. Some users have reported the spinner is much more likely to land on green than orange, especially when betting no more than 50G. You can use this to increase your winnings quickly. Source
Showcase
To participate in the showcase, bring up to nine items to put in the grange display which best showcase the players abilities. The showcase will be judged on the quality and diversity of the display, and is rewarded with star tokens based on the place achieved.
Games can still be played at the fair after the showcase.
Points based on how many items are submitted, according to the formula: 2x-9 (Where X is the number of blank slots on display).

It is always better to try and fill all nine spots, even if the items submitted are 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.
Below are the items that the Fair will recognize in each category. Any items which do not fall into any of these categories will not earn the additional 5 points.
A number of points for each item are awarded based on its value and quality, with a maximum of 6 points per item. The value taken is the actual value, AFTER taking the quality factor, not the base value. So an item with base value 200g, at gold quality, goes to 300g, so it gets points for being at 300g AND being gold quality

Assuming that nine items, each worth 6 points, are submitted and that the items represent at least six unique categories, the highest theoretical score obtainable is 107.
Once the judging is complete, make sure to retrieve the items from the table, as they are not automatically returned.
