Isabelle must be a little puppy-pyromaniac. Consider how at every public works opening ceremony she supplies the whole town with party poppers. During the Fireworks Festival she will happily supply you with a fountain firework if none exist in your inventory. It's suggested that she is knowledgeable about pyrotechnics by the way she can create custom fireworks that are illegal in my IRL state of California. Not only does she manufacture explosives but she also doesn't mind producing fireworks in the shape of a dick. She happily accepted my phallic-inspired design last week and my town was subjected to a lewd display of a man's junk in the skies of Arlen. Sure, I was responsible for submitting the design in the first place but it was Isabelle's responsibility keep the innocents of my town protected from any inappropriate images. Also, I'm beginning to believe that she is working with Crazy Redd on the black market. I'm growing suspicious of the way she spends her Sundays standing beside him in the Plaza. Redd is bad news. She knows better than to do business with the likes of him.
Crazy Redd appears in the Plaza on the days of a Firework shows. Like the Shinto festivals that occur frequently in Japan, Redd sits inside a small stand adorned with Christmas lights. He uses his infamously sketchy business practices to distribute cookies, similar to those of the Nooklings, which are more than likely filled with dud tickets. If you are lucky enough to avoid winning the loosing prize of a sparkler, you might find yourself with some interesting objects. The list includes toys that have been long forgotten by the world. Nintendo's Ten Billion Barrel makes a pathetic appearance as the winnings of the "Whiz" ticket. These silly toys predated the early video games that made Nintendo a household name. For a list of all of Redd's prizes, visit this link to the Animal Crossing Wiki.
I believe the only object one should consider wasting multiple 500 Bell cookies on is the Lovely Phone. I personally dislike the Lovely series because it appears gaudy and overly feminine to me. The Lovely Phone is the only worthwhile piece of the entire mediocre set. This item allows a villager to call a psychic hotline informing them on their day's fortune and lucky item. Like with Katrina who appears once a week with her mystic predictions, the phone gives daily advice to the player. Sometimes your lucky item is vague, like the day I was instructed to wear a "tank" and gladly wore one of my dozens of trendy tanks (I'm addicted to fashion in this game, I'm ashamed to admit. I plan to do a LONG post about it in the future) while other fortunes expect you to find a specific item like "basic bottoms."
I hope that Nintendo continues the Fireworks shows in future games but with a goal of evolving the event from just a show to that of a real Japanese festival. With more stalls lining the Plaza, villagers can expect to experience new mini games and furniture. Stands selling special items would really be enjoyable for any player to experience. The festivals will also do well among those who actually attend spring cherry blossom festivals in Japan where the game is originally developed.

| As mayor, I wonder how our cheap little town can afford to run a professional fireworks show from 7pm to 12am. I imagine it gets expensive. |

| Yes, that's a penis. and I'm standing on top of a fountain firework. Isabelle seems to care very little about my inevitable burns. |
