The Bell Tree Fair 2020: Closing Ceremony

[lieryl]

This is literally the cheesiest thing but this fair along with stumbling upon this site in general has easily been the highlight of my year. I’ve made so many good friends that help me with my physiology assignments and force collectibles on me and have decided to really get back into art thanks to TBT Thank you so much everyone for your hard work, from the amazing staff to all the kind users I have met. I literally don’t know where I’d be without the bell tree T^T

this is honestly the best community that i’ve ever been a part of - everyone here is so talented and kind and i’m blessed to be amongst some amazing people,,

this fair was absolutely incredible and i don’t have the words to articulate just how grateful i am to the mods & staff - you all did an amazing job organizing and maintaining this event and you deserve lots and lots of rest. the theme was amazing this year and i had so much fun participating in the events/contests,, it was wonderful to see the forums so lively again now that things have died down after new horizons’ release.

i had so much fun trying to get creative with my entries and admiring everyone else’s talent. i’ll treasure my celeste plushie + the memories from this fair forever c’:

I have no idea what to do with my life now that the fair is over LOL

I can’t emphasise enough how much I appreciate this community, even though I’ve been a member for years I always make friends around the time of the fair (a lot more so than the rest of the year when there’s no fair on), as someone who’s pretty lonely irl - especially with lockdown and everything else going on in the world - these little activities have kept me going by taking my mind off of everything! Of course I can go back to projects like drawing to take my mind away but that’s not as community based as this event, I’m really going to miss it.
I also can’t emphasise enough how much I appreciate all the staff for everything they’ve done, I don’t know any other online community that does this kind of stuff and it’s so above and beyond which is why I love this site and have stuck around for so long! Everyone deserves a massive thank you <3

so was the 2005 fair just jeremy and like 2 others?

I was one of those 20!! The one and only Fair I've gotten to participate in as a regular member.

I actually made a joke while this thread was being worked on that the amount of 2005 Fair participants would be "like 20" before Jeremy found the answer.

Crazy to think that the first fair only had 20 people. It has definitely come very far in 15 years

Hey, if we're counting staff it must have been at least 25!

There was actually one the year before that, in 2004. However, it wasn't really the Fair as we know it now where you earn tickets (points in 2005) from various events. It was more of a casual promotional thing for the start of the forum. Then in 2005 we held the event for our one year birthday. When we brought the Fair back in 2013 and 2014 it was still for the site's birthday (9th and 10th) in the winter, but in 2016 we decided to make it a summer event.

Congrats to everyone who won and to the staff team for working so hard see you all at Christmas

NOW my lineup is complete (for now)! What a perfect way to end the day. Thanks for doing this whole event!

Heck yes, wild childs and shooting stars squad.

I think this distribution was the last fair thing that I had to look forward to, I guess we're all done now

If you entered any of our raffles we will be drawing the winners tomorrow night!

Nope! After buying the rest of my star fragments I had three tickets left which went to a fair patch.

Still curious to see who gets what though! Good luck to all who entered (even though that doesn't make sense because not all can win!)

 

[Pintuition]

Everyone's lineups looks great! Congrats to all winners. This fair has been really fun. I'm looking forward to next time!

Thank you to all the staff, mods, etc for creating such an awesome event. Gutted I had to drop out for the second half due to work commitments and social burn out but honestly just from what I experienced it was really well put together and ya'll worked super hard. Congratulations to all the event winners and everyone who entered in the competition - some awesome work and creativity going on - the amount of talent on here is unreal. Well done everyone

When will the fair threads disappear? I want to archive all the Celeste's Observatory coloring pages like I did with the Bucket of Paint during the 2017 fair and I need to plan accordingly so I can save them all before the threads go away.

Not staff obviously, but they’ve already said that yes, the threads are going away after the fair.

Oh they wanted to know which day/time they're disappearing! (which I'm wondering also )

I know they're goin away, I just want to know when so I know how much time I have to to archive the coloring pages.

 

[Hanif1807]

Well the event was pretty fun. I might join the fair again in the future

So this is the first TBT Fair I was a part of, and I have to say I really enjoyed it! It's been a long while since I've been able to take part in an internet event I've enjoyed as much as this one. A lot of the events were really fun and enjoyable, I wanted to participate in pretty much every one that I could, and I'm glad it helped to provide a distraction to the madness that has been 2020.

Thanks to all the staff for all the hard work and dedication in putting this all together and having it run as smoothly as it could for an entire month! I'll be eagerly anticipating the next fair!
