Great bunch of ideas!
Maybe a trade & craftsmanship fair could be good, the traders could also have some better enchanted items available than regular stores have, to 'show off' their work. And players would get to spend something.
Full-on fair with a food stand and other sorts of stuff beside markets, ideally with zero "DM-management" necessity.
Festival map could be used, it might be a lot of fun and wholesome RP.

Sheri's true neutral, so if there's any way she will be able to help out with the 'neutral' line mentioned, let me know.
I would like to see a special loot item for the storyline that only the new characters would receive, just to encourage some new PCs for it. A 'welcome to Hadrian' sort of item. I would happily play Mayor Morgaine if required as a plot device (and as you know I love to welcome new arrivals :) ). Grano at the Adventurer's Society would make a great NPC to start a quest event. Perhaps he could even be testing out young adventurers to see who has the stones to take over the running of the hall for him?
Some sort of incentive to encourage the new PCs to continue to cooperate would be wonderful. Obviously the players must provide some of that themselves. But I would love to see a new party of US or UK players cooperating as closely as our recently assembled Aussie one does.
Like Sherina I would like to see the festival grounds get some use. Could a greased up pig get loose again? Could The Goliath return to challenge all comers? ;D

Cool, come up with some items
