It's a joke, Taylor.") There was a now a rule named after her. Last year, Lorelai Gilmore had tried to include Juan Valdez along with Rory Gilmore on her list of family members. The lottery was broken down into three sections: heads of families first, then heads of households in each family, then members of each household in each family. The box was moved to the back room with the adult videos, and Jess was formally disciplined.) (Once, Jess Marino tried to rent the box. Kim sold the grandfather clock), and some years it just sat on the shelf at Stars Hollow Video. The rest of the year, the box was kept in storage it had spent one year in Miss Patty's ballet studio and another year under the grandfather clock at Kim's Antiques (until Mrs. The night before the lottery, after elections for the Harvest Festival (can't start planning for the Harvest Festival too early, Kirk always said), Taylor and Miss Patty drew up the slips of paper and put them in the box the crossing guards at Stars Hollow High brought the box over to the square the next morning. He never did, but Kirk lived in hope, and carried the black wooden box from its place under the bandbox over to the gazebo in silent pride. Kirk Gleason stood next to Taylor every year in case he ever needed help during the ceremony.

The lottery was directed, as were the movie nights, the Revolutionary War reënactments, and the Bracebridge Dinner, by Taylor Doose (of Doose's Market, and Taylor's Olde Fashioned Soda Shoppe, and also of the town council). James had once tried to cook a staff meal back at the Dragonfly Inn after the lottery, but never repeated the attempt. Kim never joined the others at Al's Pancake World afterward, but no one ever spoke to her about it, although no one else's absence would have been tolerated. Kim came out of Kim's Antiques ten minutes before ten o'clock and never a minute sooner, flipping around the door sign that read "BACK AT NOON." Mrs. "Because I can't possibly eat anything on lottery day," she said, "so I get low blood sugar. Miss Patty wore a new hat and loudly complained to everyone who arrived of how much her hands shook on this day every year. And they had been good years for Stars Hollow, no matter how much Luke or others grumbled. Taylor had served as Town Selectman for fifteen years. Taylor (of Doose's Market and Taylor's Olde Fashioned Soda Shoppe) drifted through their midst, gauging the size and shape of the stones they had selected and making modifications where necessary. The men's conversation was constant yet muted. The girls stood aside, mostly talking among themselves, while Lane Kim anxiously compared the size of her rock pile with Tristan's. Jess, like his uncle Luke (of Luke's Diner), made a point of showing the least amount of interest possible in Stars Hollow tradition, but they both attended every year, just the same. Jess Mariano maintained a studiedly unconcerned air as he assembled his collection of rocks as if by accident. Tristan Dugray had already stuffed his pockets full.
Only a few Stars Hollow children attended Chilton, and they gravitated toward the gazebo. Al still did not serve pancakes.īoth Chilton and Stars Hollow High had let out for the summer, and the crowds tended to divide along school lines. In some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days, but in Stars Hollow the whole process took less than two hours, so things could kick off at ten o'clock and still be over in time for noon dinner at Al's Pancake World, unless Luke relented and opened the diner, which he rarely did ("I bring the coffee and take the same turn as everybody else every year.
#STARS HOLLOW WEDNESDAY FREE#
Everyone gathered in the main square between Luke's Diner (closed for the holiday, but with an urn of free coffee out front) and Kim's Antiques (open and doing brisk business) around ten o'clock. Just the right amount of green, that's how green the grass was in Stars Hollow. Not the showy, self-conscious sort of green you might find in New Haven or Waterford not the sort of green that called attention to itself. The day of the lottery was bright and sunny the flowers outside Doose's Market were blossoming exactly on Taylor Doose's schedule and the grass was a brilliant green.
