"Twilight" fans Jessica and Abby Dyer of Aurora, Illinois
visited the Forks Chamber of Commerce's Visitor Information Center on
Monday, July 28. They took photos of themselves with the 1952 Chevy
pickup being used as a stand-in for truck driven by Bella in the
best-selling, Forks-set book series “Twilight.” The truck was painted
red by chamber member Bruce Guckenberg. Guckenberg and other Chamber
members donated the truck and it is now on permanent display.

The University Book Store in Seattle's University District
is staging a "Forks away from Forks" promotion in an in-store event
marking the release of the West End-set book "Breaking Dawn" by author
Stephenie Meyer. The book is the fourth in the international
best-selling "Twilight" book series. Stesha Brandon, the public
relations and events manager for the store, told the Forks Forum that
the event is being held Friday night and features a scavenger hunt in
the store for clues related to locations in Forks mentioned in the
book. A drawing for weekend stays in Forks is the grand prize, with the
book store purchasing accommodations and tickets on the Forks Chamber
of Commerce's Twilight Tours ride as part of the package.
