That if you do what I do when you start up the weekly Rail Yard tasks and send all your characters on long tasks to get them out of the way (and make a little cash) that there might just possibly be a new event starting today. So you might not want to send all your characters on 24 hour tasks (like I started doing but then thought "Hmmmm" and sent the rest on 12 hour tasks instead).

I usually don't put any characters on regular tasks for the first 12 hours of Rail Yard, unless all three recycling centers are full of activity. Otherwise everything gets out of whack.But now I only have 24 hours left to decide if I should buy donuts for the first time in nearly a year in order to get Brother Faith and/or Father Sean.

Brother Faith is worth getting. I'd skip Fr. Sean for now.

Regardless of whether an event starts today, I'm just doing the railyard. Everyone else will go on 24 hour task. Homer and Lisa usually trigger the events anyway. If not I'm good with starting tomorrow. There's always the store option to fall back on too.

Isn't this just a rail yard reminder thread?
I thought we already had an official one.

railyard is a waste of time imo, but even if you are going to do it i fail to see what the huge rush is. you have an entire week to do it.

Ummmm the other one says "official"
I am fine with this one being the official if that's how everyone wants it as long as this one gets bumped every week and a new one is not opened.

Why do people think an event is coming? The event finishes tomorrow so they can't just cut it short

We've had overlapping events in the past.
Updates typically come on Tuesdays
It wouldn't be the first time they put the wrong end date in the game.
I could be wrong, but I'd rather be wrong than unprepared.

I got to the first benchmark with what I had saved up in my freemium town, and the second one in my premium town. Off to a good and early start. Thanks again WADEBEAR for the "official" reminder ;)

I really want to be proved wrong because I WANT an event today :). None of my main characters are on big jobs so I'm ready.
But I think a major event might have hit in the files by now :(. So I think it would probably be a Springfield Heights 3 or something small
