Still no event. I'm off to the airport now so will be off line for a while.

Have fun when it does start.

From what the in-game blog says "The Independence Day event! Jul 4th, 2013: Dear friends, the Fourth of July is coming! Get ready for the celebration: purchase the Holiday Cannon and start gathering confetti to load it. The cannon gives presents, and if you complete the whole event, you’ll be able to build the White House in your City!"

It sounds like it will be a collecting event...like clicking on people wandering around town...versus the past couple events that have been producing items at the factories. That makes it more of a time challenge then having enough factories or products. But we will see. I'm trying to hold out on the update until others tell me what to expect so I can be prepared if I need to stash factories in my warehouse. Yes, I realize I'm letting others be the guinea pig for me...but I'm ok with that

Ouch - that update hurts.

My next level, for adding the nextnfactory used to be 200.000 - now it is 812.000

Has this happened to anyone else?
I have a lot of factories in storage and this would suck if its true....

I did the update. The event is collecting items from people walking around. Guess I'll pull my factories out of storage. Good luck and Happy 4th!,,,

It's an energy based event, collecting confetti to stuff a cannon that goes off every 8 hours

And now I'm too scared to switch out a factory from my warehouse in case I can't bring another out

So, the event is up and running! You need to buy and place a holiday cannon, and then start collecting confetti from passers by (the usual one unit of energy per passer by kind of thing); I clicked on 25 people in a row, my progress now claims I have collected 6 out of 50 confetti; so I just clicked on another passer-by and I'm suddenly up to 8 out of 50 confetti. On the other hand, the overall task says I've collected 35 out of 75 confetti. So, make of all of this what you will, I guess I think there's maybe an issue if you click on passers by too quickly in succession - it doesn't seem to register them all?

I just did the math, to build another factory, I will need to build another 111 baseball fields and have another 16000 electricity!!! I was going to build my cosmetics factory tomorrow I only needed 500 more population and 400k coins..... Very sad

I wish I visited the forum before I updated the game. I will never be able to build an Electronics factory now. I would need........................... 1,433,000 population. I have 330,000. Oh well.

This event is so déjà vu. Santa, is that you? You still owe me a few tons of magic ice.

Same here. I wonder what happens if I decide to switch my factories. The whole point of storage is to be able to switch buildings. I have dozens of buildings in storage. If that means I am unable to use them, I am done with this game.
