Kelly Grable of Mobile, Ala., prepares Bella’s birthday cake outside Forks Outfitters in Forks on Thursday as Forever Twilight in Forks fans look on.
Isabella “Bella” Marie Cullen (née Swan) was born to Charlie Swan and Renée Dwyer on Sept. 13, 1987. The Twilight series’ main protagonist celebrated a day early as the store played along and paged her over the public address system.
Grable is a member of the Forever Twilight Forks planning committee and travels to Forks each year to help with the festival. More than 400 VIT (Very Important Twilighter) tickets were sold.
Planned VIT and other free activities continue throughout town and to La Push through Sunday.
