Similar gatherings have happened before. However, this one has a continuously expanding list of events and businesses ready to welcome the community with open arms later in November.Last year, in the early fall season, the Late Night Delaware committee hosted a one-day “Gilmore Girls” event in Delaware. While they expected only the close community of Delaware to attend the event, they were surprised at how far it outreached.“We were slightly surprised last year by the turnout,” Late Night Delaware’s Olivia Yetman said. “We knew it would be busy, but we had far more people come, and so that told us that there’s a lot of interest.”Seeing the turnout from the event of last year, the committee met to discuss expanding the event.“We just decided we needed to do a two-day event, so that we weren’t clustering people too tightly into downtown in that short window of time,” Late Night Delaware’s Rob Purtell said.However, they are doing more than just expanding the time window.“We wanted to get more involvement with the business owners downtown, so we could turn the entire town into Starz Hollow,” Purtell said.While they had worked closely with only a short list of businesses last year, as of now, they have officially announced over 40 participating companies and what they will be representing that weekend.One of these businesses is the Fresh Start Cafe &amp; Bakery, where the general manager, Carissa Pascual, has taken an active role in the event.“[Olivia and Rob] had approached us last year about being involved in Starz Hollow,” Pascual said. “Last year it was over 5,000 people that showed up, and we’re really just preparing for it.”This has been a highly anticipated event, and for many businesses, a highly successful one.“This event out of Late Night Delaware is the most successful event they did. [The GOAT Local] store did better than they did on Black Friday last year,” Pasucal said. “For us, we had a line out the door and down the sidewalk, where you couldn’t even see [the end of the line] anymore.”One of the expected attendants, freshman Sammi Paredes Hedrick, said she is excited for the event.“A lot of people will want to go see it, and it can bring people together,” Hendrick said. “Personally, I’d just thought it would be cool to see Delaware become a different place.”This year, the event will be hosted on Nov. 13 from 4-8 p.m. and on Nov. 14 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. With an expected turnout of about 8,000 attendees, the “Gilmore Girls” committee, which was created to plan this event, has announced a multitude of different events for fans to enjoy.One of the most recent events announced was the attendance of Hep Alien, the fictional band created by familiar characters of the show. Zack Van Gerbig, played by Todd Lowe, and Brian Fuller, played by John Cabrera, will be bringing the band back at the Gray Chapel of Ohio Wesleyan Campus on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.The “Gilmore Girls” committee has also recently announced that Mrs. Kim, played by Emily Kuroda, will also be attending the event alongside her fellow actors.Another anticipated event will be an author visit with Matt Browning, the writer of the “Gilmore Girls Pop Culture Reference Guide”. He will be located at GOAT Local, which will be representing the Dragonfly Inn during this event.To kick off the event, Beanbag Books will be hosting a “Meet Me at Luke’s” event, where fans will be able to try some of the food from the recently published book “Dishes From the Diner” written by Scott Patterson, as well as get a copy of the book for themself. Tickets for this event are currently available at Beanbag Books’ website.The committee has stated that they plan to transform the entirety of downtown. They have reached out through social media to receive donations of fall themed decorations and lights to give downtown Delaware a temporary glow-up.“The hopes of it is that we continue to bring newer, fresh faces into downtown Delaware and get people more familiar with it, including bringing more tourism,” Pasual said. “We can see it getting bigger long-term, and what everybody wants is to help Delaware thrive.”Late Night Delaware has also been looking at expanding this event into next year, and possibly more years further out.“We would like this to be year by year, and I think it is going to be amazing,” Purtell said. “Next year, we’ve had ideas of what we might want to do to make it even better.”The committee truly believes in this event and they are always looking to bring in the essence of Starz Hollow.“Starz Hollow is the most quaint, amazing town, where it just feels like a hug and it’s home for everyone,” Yetman said. “We just want the whole downtown to look like fall.”The official start of the event will begin with the knit-a-thon, a fan favorite series event, followed by an array of look-alike contests, markets, shopping opportunities, and a plethora of “Gilmore Girls” themed food and drinks waiting to be tasted by their customers.The Late Night Delaware committee will continue to expand their events for a long time to come, and looking out for those events through social media and posted through downtown Delaware will allow the close and far communities to enjoy the historic area.</div></body>
