Each year Forks puts on a Stephenie Meyer themed celebration to coincide with the weekend closest to Bella’s September 13th birthday. This year they have their own website http://stepheniemeyerday.com/ Where they are rapidly filling in the details of the weekend.
The town of Forks has also made some rather necessary and practical changes to handle the influx of visitors. According to the Forks, Washington blog “The members of West End Business & Professional Association and Forks Chamber of Commerce have gone in together on two Sanicans placed downtown for the summer tourists. Merchants in the area of the stoplight had been complaining about Twilight visitors using their restrooms which are usually back in store rooms and not meant for public use.
So a regular sanican was delivered first and when the folks at West Waste and Recycling delivered the second one it had a custom paint job, I call it the “Twilight Twoilet.”

Stephenie Meyer Day
TY to Yasie for the tip
I really hope Forks doesn’t stop doing SM Day before I gather up the money to go. To be honest, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to but I’d love to. It’s a special day for me because I gave birth to my Bella on that day! This September 13th she’ll be 4. Where does the time go?!?! (BTW, I knew nothing of Twilight when she was born, just a happy coincidence. =)
Hope all you Twilighters out there want to help me with something; I’m participating in a contest with some necklaces that I’ve made (one with the Twilight book cover, a dreamcatcher and more) and was hoping you could vote for me, Every ‘like’ is a vote, so I hope you like my handmade necklaces http://www.skapanytt.se/gallery/photo/360
Thanks.
Did anyone else giggle when they saw the picture of the porta-potties following the Stephenie Meyer Day headline? LOL.
I don’t think they should complain to much, its like saying, darn, my register isn’t big enough to hold all this money, I believe I will just close when its full…Having people use your bathroom is a good trade off for all the revenue it brings to Forks cause I would love to go! Seems like not a bad problem to have….
I was in Forks this summer….. Finding a potty was a challenge !!!! I was on that corner too….. Should leave the Twilight toilet there all the time !!!!!!!
I WANNA GO TO FORKS !!! Maybe one day …
Was there last year, awesome event
Wonder if we get to SEE IT this time?? Got the tail end of it.
We’re going there on October, hopefully!
Check out the Forks Chamber of Commerce website http://www.forkswa.com or Discover Forks Washington for all the latest information on events and happenings in Forks, Washington! Our Visitor Information Center had over 73,000 people sign our guest book last year and most of those were Twilight fans! WE LOVE TWILIGHT!!!
I wish I could go! I need to find a job so I can save up & go next year.
OK – I don’t care who you are …. the picture of two porta-potties you have captioned “Forks Prepping for Annual Stephenie Meyer Day” made me laugh! Even after reading the article, I still had to chuckle! I’m just sayin’ …..
I really want to go and plan on going next year so they better not stop doing this !
I am going to Stephenie Meyer weekend, can’t wait.I went last year and has a blast and this year The Hillywood show is going to be there,which I love those girls.
