Just wanted to say a big thankyou for an enjoyable event. Most memorable bits:
* forgoing sleep to attend the Keg raffle. (very few things get me to stay awake til 3am and beyond). Maetriks congrats but.. Beer? Should have been ale! snicker. Wish I'd been more awake to steer you in that direction. :D
* finding so much ale available and being able to buy, drink, test and catalogue each type;
* Great interaction in the candy and perfume stores. Angienarie, you are surprisingly funny for a illstim elf. duck - Seriously though, you made not being spun to fun! Not that I want you to make a habit of not selecting me. :D
* buying, making and drinking coffee. What a revelation. I suspect that coffee sales would have gone through the roof. Can't wait to see a kettle in the tearoom. How about a contest to create a coffee annex to the tea room. Haha
* the candy store and some great interplay with merchant and customers as I tried to find that illusive ale candy!
* some nice work done. Two items unlocked and one altered.
All in all, I had a good time.

Just wanted to put out a huge THANK YOU to all the GMs who worked on this event! I had an absolute blast and was very impressed by the really inventive things you all came up with. In particular, I adored the food that let everyone know what you had to eat last -- way too much fun.
I had a great time interacting with all the merchants as well. The overtones on the whole event were hugely cheerful and fun-loving, which put a great spin on the usual ho-humness of waiting in line for work or on raffles to be drawn. As Bremerial said, even if you didn't get spun you had fun -- and that's what these events are about!
The refillable picnic basket was to die for. Please have more in the future!!
Thanks again for all the fantastic creativity and effort!

I had a great time as well! Thanks to everyone involved for all or their hard work and effort that goes into putting these types of events together.
My favorite things:
- I think I had the most fun with the candy bowl and making a game of getting folks to make different combinations by eating two candies at once. I know I spent way too much time doing this. Please bring this back in the future with even more flavors!
- As always, the merchants were entertaining and a lot of fun to interact with. I particularly had a lot of fun with Deelicious.
- While I didn't win any of the raffles, I enjoyed the items that were being raffled off. I would especially like to see more endless ale kegs being offered in the future!
- Funnel Cakes! Enough said.
- The clothes in Swish 'n Shake were a hoot to mix and match. More food themed clothing in the future please!

The funnel cakes, and the idea for the messy food that shows up in your features, came from a plat player. I am sad his accounts are closed so he won't get to see it.
On a slightly separate note (but I'll keep it in the same thread) I was really excited to see how much player input was used in building out this event from shop stock to funnel cakes and more. It motivates me to participate in more of the contests going forward and to think about designing and contributing more in general as a result.
It may be that this is often the case and maybe it is now being acknowleged/promoted in such a way that I am noticing it. In any case, I'm glad to see it!

Loved the funnel cakes, was even more excited when they became uber messy.
Faulkil made me try the double candies and have to say it then became addicting. I went in there often to check if the shop merchant was working (we must keep different hours, never saw her :(, always left after 4-5 double handfuls of fun candy mixtures.
Favorite shop item for me were the salt/pepper shakers and to a slightly lesser extent the basting brushes. If you want to release a raffle for an X per day shaker set...I'd be all for it! Suggestion for the basting brushes, if it is possible to have it activated not like a wand that is waved but instead being applied to a person's skin like well...a basting brush. Anyway I saw them, laughed good and hard and promptly bought enough to get me through the year.
Vanah/Candy coated, Loved the scripts I saw on your coats but never came across you in game. any chance one of your merchants will be making other appearances to unlock?
Enjoyed the time I spent at the festival, was pleasantly surprised just how much different stuff was offered. Oh Big Bertha was a neat thing to come across, bring that back sometime, maybe EG?

I merchanted about 8 hours total over the week. Sorry we didn't meet up! And it's not my script, so I can't say when they will be unlocked again.

Oh I saw a lot of your work shown off, so I knew the owner of the shop (didnt know it was you til today) had been coming around. I keep early hours for the most part so I imagine you were more of an evening attraction.
