The Bell Tree Fair 2014: Closing Ceremony

[Justin]

Welcome to the Closing Ceremony for The Bell Tree Fair 2014. This year's Fair was the biggest we've accomplished yet to the point where we really could not keep up with everything. Even though it can be extremely overwhelming at times, it is amazing to have such an engaged community participating in these events and we're very grateful for that. At the same time, we hope everyone appreciates how much work does go into it to make this happen.

I know there have been many questions regarding tickets, collectibles, raffles, and the shop in general... so here's the deal straight from the horse's mouth below! (am I a horse now???)

TBT Fair 2014 contest winners (anyone who placed in the top three of a contest this year) will have EXCLUSIVE access to two final restocks soon. These restocks are: Saturday, 3PM Fair Time and Sunday, 3AM Fair Time. Any remaining stock will be opened to everyone Sunday, 3PM Fair Time. The following items will be restocked: White Feather, Purple Feather, Pink Feather, Fair Pinwheel

A special closing raffle to use remaining leftover tickets is now available in the TBT Fair Shop with the Super Leftover Tickets Fair Raffle REDUX! Of course, if you're a contest winner, you'll want to hold off on entering this quite yet. More details on this can be found later in this thread.

All raffles (including the Super Leftover Tickets Fair Raffle REDUX!) will be closed sometime Thursday, January 15th in Fair Time, with the winners drawn and posted that day. We can't give an exact time so make sure to enter anything you wish to enter before then.

Winners of a physical prize either already purchased individually in the Shop will be contacted soon with a link to a form to fill out their address information. Raffle winners will be contacted after the raffles are drawn. Jeremy will be handling this so if you have any further questions, please PM him.

The rest of the TBT Fair Shop will also be closed sometime Thursday, January 15th in Fair Time. We can't give an exact time so make sure to spend all tickets before then or you may miss out, there will be no second chances. Expect the Fair boards and Ticket currency to depart around then as well.

Finally, we invite you to participate in our closing TBT Fair survey once again this year to help influence the next Fair or other TBT events. A number of the changes made to the Fair this year were motivated by the previous results.

A man in red named Jer
Came to the fair, clothes clean like his hair
The people ran in fright
At the unholy sight
For all they could see was a bear

Another one, Justin the young
Arrived as soon as he was rung
The crowd burst with joy
With this joyous new boy
And from the ceiling they swung

The enforcer stepped back and sat
And cracked the knees of the brat
The tormented cried
There's nowhere to hide
From Kaiaa and her nail-studded bat

Tina from Scotland had bucks
She used to buy seven trucks
She drove and she drove
But crashed in a grove
And cried, "The roads! This country sucks!"

Second Place by BiggKitty with 26 votes

Cotton candy, rides galore,
Excited children shout for more.
Ice cream cones and popcorn cart,
Hard to know quite where to start.

Inside the tents, wondrous sights,
Outsides lit up with flashing lights.
Ferris wheel keeps spinning round,
While queues are forming on the ground.

Candied apples selling well,
The best sweet delight, who can tell?
Rides to scream for can be found
But some just like to wander round.

The carousel with horses wild
Will bring forth the inner child.
Then, if you're feeling really bold
Have tomorrow's fortune told.

When at last your day is done,
You've had your money's worth of fun
All excitement at an end,
With lagging footsteps home we wend.
The time has sped by far too fast
Why can't the hours of pleasure last?

Third Place by mdchan with 24 votes

A fair, a fair!
It's time to play!
A fair, a fair!
Everyone's having fun today!

Rover's off the train,
Counting candy in a jar;
While Kapp'n has fun singing along
To K.K Slider playing his guitar!

A day off for Digby and Isabelle,
Who are going on the rides;
Tilting spinners and roller-coasters,
Bouncy castles and inflatable slides!

Of course there's a Ferris Wheel,
You can see it a mile away;
Well on it are Reese and Cyrus,
Who are out to enjoy the day.

If anyone needs to recharge,
Brewster has them set;
Blue Mountain, Kilimanjaro, Mocha, or Blend...
Which one will they get?

Hey you over there,
Yes, yes...you, I said!
Try your luck with these fortune cookies,
Being sold by good ole Redd!

Tom Nook is too smart for that,
He'll be saving his bells, thanks much;
Though Timmy and Tommy might take a peek
So long as it's all done hushidy-hush.

Want to decorate a bonsai?
Leif is running a booth!
Right next to the cotton candy stand,
For those who have a sweet tooth!

Look, to that side!
Gracie's put on a fashion show!
Where folks can make their own shirts,
Whether or not they know how to sew!

There's no post today,
So Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete
Are free to roam about
For some fun which can't be beat!

Katrina's selling fortunes,
Sahara, wallpaper once again;
While Gulliver enjoys where he is now,
Even if he can't remember where he's been.

Pascal is out of the water,
Having funnel cake with Katie;
While Dr. Shrunk is on stage now,
Doing puns and cringe comedy.

Don and Mr. Resetti came up,
And thankfully covered up their hole;
Though they're staying far away,
From the booth with the game "Whack-a-Mole".

Tortimer came from his island,
And Phineas from his job;
Laughing in the fun house,
While eating popcorn and corn on the cob.

There's still plenty to do!
There's still plenty to see!
More folks are arriving,
And everyone feels free!

It's a fair, a carnival!
It's a time of joy and fun;
And everyone is going to savor it,
For as long as it will run!

Congratulations to the other contest winners and nominees as welll! And thank you to the staff for putting on this huge event and seeing it through.
