ToonFest Columbus: Day 2 Recap
Posted by The Toontown Team on December 7, 2024 at 9:00 PM
Good evening, y’all! We’re back with another installment of our daily ToonFest Columbus summaries! There’s a SanToon sack of festivities to get through, so let’s jump right into it!
Fish Bingo
Kicking things off at the ToonFest booth, Toony fishermen gathered, Gold Fishing Rods in hand, for a few rounds of Fish Bingo!
A few lucky fishermen got their hands on some ultra rare species, a feat many Toons struggle to catch. There must be something in the chilly Columbus air that’s attracting all these fish!
Winners in each Fish Bingo game won their very own Toontown Tote bag! Congratulations to all the fishermen who yelled out, "Bingo!"
Toontown: A Chat with Jesse Schell
Gathering around an open fire, attendees bore witness to Joey and Jesse Schell's fireside chat, discussing all things Toontown Online. Did you know that the original pitch of Toontown was a theme park that families could attend together at home?
Toontown Rewritten has been running even longer than Toontown Online has, and Jesse acknowledged that we’ve formulated Toontown traditions and culture, as well as what it means to be a toontown community. We are keeping the spirit of Toontown alive, and it’s all because of YOU!
It wouldn’t be ToonFest without a surprise… During the panel, we announced the new Jaymo trading card representing Jesse Schell’s Toon. After the panel concluded, attendees were able to meet Jesse Schell and have their Jaymo card autographed by Jaymo in the flesh!
Cosplay Cavalcade
Nobody has fashion quite like the Toontown community! Toons came dressed to the nines, participating in the very first Cosplay Cavalcade!
Participants had the chance to win in a variety of superlative categories and earn exclusive prizes at the ToonFest booth! Here are this year’s winners and their respective categories:
- Best “Catwalk”: Kellin (who is too little to have a Toon yet!), who cosplayed as Flippy.
- Best Toon Cosplay: Katie “Batty Koda”, who cosplayed her Toon.
- Best Cog Cosplay: Ben “Sir Bongo Octozapper”, who cosplayed as a Bean Counter
Congratulations to the winners and kudos to everyone who participated! This cavalcade is one for the Schticker Books!
Toontown Funny Feud
Funny Feud’s back and better than ever! Our favorite host, Danny Dandelions, invited 10 lucky Toons up to the stage to compete against one another for the title of Funny Feud Champion!
This Toony spin-off game puts contestants on their toes in order to guess the very best answers for each survey question. While some answers may be more obvious, others are more arbitrary. It's a true Toontown test!
Neither Team Cooky nor Team Zany backed down, but only one team could be crowned the winner. Congratulations to Team Cooky for winning!

KELLIN. YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE FLIPPY.
That was SUCH a sweet moment with Jesse Schell when they presented his own Jaymo trading card to him! No way I'm missing the next Toonfest.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I NEED TO GO! BUT I CAN'T AT THIS POINT! :(
