Yes indeed. Thank you to all involved. It was a lovely time. I look forward to attending the next and seeing everyone again. 
Thank you for everyone who came out and contributed. Big thank you to the people who helped setup and donated resources or gold to fund the event.
HUGE thank you to Asari for providing me with a bunch of gems so I could imbue over a hundred starter suits in case anyone needed them, and Stitch from TWT on Atlantic for helping craft spellbooks and scrolls. This really was a team effort from a lot of people including the builders and designers such as Mio, Zargani, Kincsem Yuzu and others. I am grateful to have learned so much from Blend and assisting in helping this come together. Thank you Peter for being a huge support during this time and offering many helpful translations. Without your and Zargani's help with translations I don't think the Scavenger Hunt would have been as easy for people to understand due to language the barrier.
I just hope many of you had fun or found some items you were looking for and it brought you happiness that's what makes this all worth it in my opinon.
I sleep now

I wanted to take a moment to also say thank you to everyone who contributed to this festival - Blend, Captain Norrington, Alexander and all the others. Everyone did an amazing job.
I wanted to specifically thank @Sadie- . Sadie was the person who truly kicked off this whole process by gathering a group of rares traders to discuss the possibility of the festival and from there, she ran with it and did an incredible amount of leg work. This included everything from working with the Asian shard players to draw up the plans, plots and activities for the festival, acting as the face of the festival for American shard players, coordinating the messaging campaign on Stratics and various Discord servers, researching rares submitted to the Silent Auction, coordinating transfers, managing payments and payouts - all while dealing with the usual personalities and problems that come up through out the course of an event like this. She truly rose to the occasion and this whole thing would not have been possible without her persistence and dedication to putting on an excellent event. Sadie deserves the gratitude of everyone who participated at any level.
I remind everyone that Sadie is also the main person who is still contributing to the Stratics Wiki on a regular basis. She does an excellent job, never complains, seeks out information from many sources, attends nearly every event - the list goes on. There is just so much you can say about her hard work and dedication to the Ultima Online Rares Trading Community. I am honored to have her as a friend and business associate. In my humble opinion, she has been the Most Valuable Player for UO Rares Trading in 2023. Bravo!

I helped players transfer over 40p to the Rares Festival, but wasn't able to really attend it, thank you to @Sadie- @blend @Captn Norrington @Alexander of ATL. and anyone else who helped out. I hope everyone made out well and enjoyed themselves!
I would like to once again thank them for their dedicated work over the past two months since we decided to put this plan into action. Probably the number of tasks I have performed with them is more than a thousand
This means a lot of work done mostly out of the spotlight.
I'm proud to have run this fest with them.

I think Sadie did a great job.It was an honor to work with you. And I would like to once again express my gratitude to my teammates and everyone involved in this.
Although she is largely out of the limelight, without her help it would have been impossible to hold this festival on the announced date. Thank you for your perfect job.
He using two languages, English and Japanese, to give us a lot of fun and also did a professional job as an auction host and successfully accomplished it.Many of us were there for the first time, I think everyone had a great experience.
Helped with this by managing the overall festwork progress I think she served as more than the main host
Like ZARIGANI, she worked hard to get as many people interested in our festival.
She Beautifully recreated Old style houses and NPC houses East Britain bank and park.
The original plan, called the Haribote Plan, was just to fill in the blank house and not do much, but the house she built was so wonderful that we decided to expand it further.
also,she helped us with the overall map creation and image production.
The east side of Festival had a different themed house. This is in reference to the UO alumni reunion that will be held this weekend, and the theme was life at old UO. They finished decorating 4 homes in just one month.
I think their decoration skills entertained many people at this festival.
They are my personal supporters and we are creating several festivals together. I would like to thank them again.
We also deeply appreciate the dedication of many volunteers.
This festival would not have been possible without their cooperation. unordered list.
We were turning down most donations and instead offering to have things there at a cheaper price.
There are some dedicated people who have actually done that. We would also like to thank them for bringing us better items at a lower price reserve.

Their pricing disregards profits Submit to auction or sell at vendor high quality items and went a long way to liven up the festival.
Rental vendor systems are outdated when it comes to organizing events like this.
To have vendors there, you have to endure the pain of high vendor taxes.
I appreciate that they are making the fest together by many ppl doing it in the festival house instead of outside the festival site.

- KUNI and Kincsem combed the place to make sure no disturbing plots could be placed around it. Needless to say, this was the most time-consuming and arduous task of the festival, as it took over a month to arrange the house over and over again to make It's comfortable.
- Cats in boots She is the main house designer for the festival I am involved with Izumo, Sakura, Yamato and Asuka
Although she is largely out of the limelight, without her help it would have been impossible to hold this festival on the announced date. Thank you for your perfect job.

Wonderful write-up, Blend. Congratulations on all your hard work. You put on a wonderful show. I hope you get some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Bravo!
It was great that we had a fest this year, was really sad when it didn't happen last year... thanks again to the staff and all involved for pulling this off , huge thanks to @blend which was the star of the show imho and was literally on everytime I logged on 
.
I would like to mention as I feel this is always an issue but please stop popping up your own vendor/safe house off the venue. The fest is meant to have EVERYONE in one location to trade and discuss rares, not to be recalling to different houses off the venue and scattering people all over the shard. There was gaps to fill those extra vendors/safes and even empty houses on venue where those rares could have been added, I get that it's impossible to enforce but if no one mentions it then the word will never get across either...
