The Anipal Holiday Bazaar premiered on Bluesky this past Saturday, as a noteworthy occasion after two earlier Twitter events. Peyton, who organized and created the event, brought together a fantastic team, resulting in a day filled with exciting activities.

It kicked off at 7 am with opening ceremonies with Peyton and the official spokes-snowman, Yoshi! Early morning events included ice hockey, snow hill sledding, and stalls with gifts and refreshments.

Multiple organizations participated in the event, including Furry Tails, Hedgewatch, Paws4Music, and JerrysCucina, among others.

I participated in the afternoon and night sessions. During the day, I opened up TJ’s Sports Shack, where I sold all your sports needs for the holiday season.

Then, after the afternoon closing ceremonies (which included Angel Avi ringing the bell and silent fireworks), the evening session began! I had a Paws4Music DJ set where I spun Christmas tunes. The evening included our very own Truman’s world-famous Pub quiz, more stalls, including Marlin’s Bonvire, Fuzz and Fiddy’s festive crochet, Rebel’s wishing well, #SundayPaws, and Bunty’s Hot Chocolate bar, just to name a few.

Then we had closing remarks from the wonderful Peyton, and the inaugural Anipal Holiday Bazaar on Bluesky ended. There was a special late-night Jerry’s Cucina where Jerry and I served the always delicious Cucina food! It was such an amazing time, and I am already looking forward to the 2026 Anipal Holiday Bazaar!
