The Bellisseria Commissary And Moleseum

 
From Gemma Cleanslate
 

Prokofy Neva has reopened the Bellisseria Commissary in Queen’s Gambit . I went over Saturday to collect my passport stamps and had to spend some time looking into all the rooms. 
 

It is fun place to visit as usual. The usual breakup room is in place so you can go sit and have a talk with Marge who will help you work through the tough time.
 

As therapy after your chat you have a choice of activities to keep your mind busy. Downstairs in the back room you will find a vacuum and pushing it through out the house can be calming.. or not. Or, in the kitchen check out the stove and perhaps learn a new recipe and collect ingredients. If you like to bring along friends how about having a pie eating contest at the kitchen table or if you like a quiet afternoon with an opponent, sit down at the chess table and have a game. Be sure to check out all the interesting art throughout the house. You might find one for free.


Prokofy has a special challenge for you. Search around the house and locate a scroll. Pretty well hidden but I found it . Then search around again and find the diplomatic pouch that contains a lovely gift . I was happy to find that and already have it out on my side table. Look around carefully because there are more gifts in plain sight. There is a notecard to explain all this. For pure relaxation have a seat in the famous Mushroom room upstairs before you leave. You may be tempted to to hang out there when the desire comes to be alone in a safe place.

The whole weekend at the Bellisseria fairgrounds was billed as “Mole Day”. The whole place was filled with remembrances of Mole activity over the past years. Photos of Moles lined the walkways and many of their little inventions were placed around the grassy areas.


A wonderful Moleseum was set up showing many of their major builds over the past 16 years. Bay city was a huge one. I remember when that opened and we went over to explore. I learned how to bowl there. I am sorry to say I missed the opening day with Abnor’s speech but glad to listen to it on Youtube.


There were parties Friday through Sunday and many come over to visit and join the fun. My favorite part was the Mole Mountain where so many of the old and new Mole bears were on display. It was a great weekend for all attendees.
