On September 13th fans from across the country celebrated the Twilight Saga’s main female characters’ birthday – Bella Swan.  According to the Forks Forum -

Hundreds of Twilight fans wave for the Saturday afternoon group photo at the Forks Chamber of Commerce’s 2009 Bella’s Birthday/Stephenie Meyer Day celebration at Tillicum Park in Forks. The two-day event concludes Sunday. Forks Chamber of Commerce Director Marcia Bingham estimated that between 1,200 and 1,500 fans traveled to Forks and LaPush for the event, perhaps more.

It makes me happy to see that the Twilight Saga has helped out such a small community! And I love their enthusiasm!

[Thanks, QUIETHAWK!]

    I showed my friend it, and she was watching it while on webcam to me, and her face was soo funny she was :-o . And at the end she mimes 'F0CK1N H311' I laughed soo hard. Shes not even additcted.

    Also, people Boo Boo Stewart is flying out to vancouver in a few days or so i think. Whoopp! Gimme Seth pictures...preferbley topless...just saying.

    PLS OUT!!
  • MonroesGal

Im so excited for the movie! Yep he tweeted he would be coming out soon so thats exciting!!!! Seth is my fave wolf and no one could play him better!!!!! :)

  • CONGRATS!!!!
  • XeniaCullen
    Sorry, but this is just crazy!
  • i agree
  • XeniaCullen
    I can't understand why they travel that far just for a picture? Or how did they spend the 2 days? Does anyone know that?
  • H2B ~ Twilight-Moon-ster
    You could check Forks Chamber web site. They might have info there.

    I know I'd like to know.
  • XeniaCullen

    well this doesn't sound as bad as I imagined... and the actor who's playing Emily was there...
  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    Aww, the Quileute storytelling sounds pretty cool actually! It's definitely a little weird they had this.. I'd only consider going if I lived nearby.. but it seems like they have some pretty cool stuff going on. Plus, it helps Forks out with the tourism. :)
  • XeniaCullen
    Yeah that also awakened my interest... But you're right, it's only really worth it if you don't have to go that far... Too much of the tourism can be pretty hard too...especially in a town as small as Forks...
  • geminiheartmk
    Yup!
  • jenlillian
    that is awesome!!!!!!! I love Forks so want to visit there someday! :)) Anyone wanna come with me?

    WOW I bet Forks made a killing on this one!
  • TeamVampiresWearGucciSuits
    I hope SM gets some of the money they make off of her. Forks has one crazy marketing department. Seriously.
  • twimomsrule
    I'm just taken back! When people will do anything or go anywhere as long as it has Twilight connected with it! I'm sorry but this is called over exposer this Twilight crazy is going to the death of Twilight! It's going to be a joke. I love Twilight thats why I'm so mad made over the make up, fast food, t-shirts, and everything they slapped with the word Twilight ! I just hate how everyone just eats it up!!! By the time breaking dawn comes out it's going to be a joke!! I'm sad that's going to happen!
  • wow, this fandom really is huge. bigger than i thought .
  • JMtoCullen
    wow i would only go if i lived near by. but i live on the other side of the country. or if Rob was going to be there i would try to go!!!!
  • Spectra
    Ahaha, wow devotion.
  • H2B ~ Twilight-Moon-ster
    Being a Business Banker it makes me so happy to see a flux of new revenue to such a small community where income can run stagnant. I’m always happy to see the little guy get fed.

    *facepalm*

    I shouldn’t post at work. My responses sound so corporate.

    *clears throat*

    Dude, this is so cool! It so nice that Twi-fans can get together for such a silly event like Bella’s birthday and it helps out the little town of Forks to boot.

    Woot woot!!!!!
  • TeamKristen(L)RumpyPumpy
    *GASP*

    Look at how blue the sky is! Thats just an amazing color blue.

    *snaps out of it*
    Back to the post, I'V NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE IN FORKS FOR A - i'm sure of it - POINTLESS DAY.

    Bless 'em.
  • TeamRotation (Meg1)
    Hey, Bella isn't into cold, wet things... how convenient the sky is blue and pretty for her birthday! hehe.
  • Marce(Dead and Loving it )
    wow! tha's awesome!! yeah it looks like it was a beautiful day.

    but maybe bella wasn't there u know who can't probably be there because of the sun so maybe they went camping hahahhaha.
  • TwiMom83
    Kinda crazy.... but yet kinda awesome!
  • OCDJenni
    That's awesome! I woulda been there if I had the funds :)
  • Aww how AWESOME!!!!
  • cutesweetiezzz
    I wish I knew about this! Or something like this happened here in Vancouver where all the fans can get together. Maybe I'm being too selfish because they are filming the movies here in my hometown.
  • TheHoneyBear
    Then how did they watch the VMAs? LMAO :)
  • TeamBella76
    There not going to do Edwards birthday or the Cullens !

    THEY'VE BEEN DOING THIS(CELEBRATING BELLAS BIRTHDAY AND STEPHENIE) FOR A WHILE NOW THEY JUST DIDN'T DECIDE to do this now for no reason and because it's so popular now.
  • CHEESEBURGERS!!!
    I know people really get into the Twilight thing...(I'll be the 1st to raise my hand)...but, isn't that carrying things a little far? Celebrating a fictional characters birthday?

    Now I'm not knocking what people enjoy doing...I guess I'm just a little surprised by it...
  • limonpower
    we also celebrated bella's birthday here in peru!! it was crazy!!! a whole bunh of people!! i didn't even know we were that much of twilight fans here in lima!!!
