If

the green “Place Luggage Cart” button to place the Cart on your farm.
Building the Luggage Cart:
Before
you can host a Carriage Ride, you will need to build your Luggage Cart.
Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the
following items to start building your Cart:
- Handbags
- Cart Wheels
- Metal Sheets
To
collect Handbags, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook
wall; you will get the parts when your Friends click on it, or when you
click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click
on the “Ask” button to send requests for Cart Wheels and Metal Sheets
to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your Friends, you can
skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.
Note: You can send a request for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.
Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.
Now
that your Luggage Cart is almost complete, you will need to hire
Friends to help you finish the job. The Luggage Cart requires four
additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some
crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots
in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your
Friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with
Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on
the “Finish Building” button.
Carriage Rides:
The
Thawing Fountain can be earned after a total of five stages. In order
to earn it, you will need to host 5 Carriage Rides for Friends. To
