Because of the severe weather causing a lot of devastation in Texas, not limited to loss of water or power, J.T. felt that it was time for another Bachelor/Bachelorette auction. While it was considered an improvised part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, there were plenty who were willing to help out, whether as bachelors/bachelorettes or as "bidders".

While Dino City wasn't hit as hard as other parts of Texas, it was more than willing to help out those who had been hit by the sudden winter storm. For example, for those whose houses had pipes burst were allowed to stay in a few hotels that had been temporarily closed due to the pandemic. Also, due to an influx of immigrants to Dino City, there were now a larger number of unmarried Dinotopians. So J.T. decided to get in contact with a fellow auctioneer to see if he could help set up a similar event in Dino City, which he did.

While the Bachelor/Bachelorette auction was a nice surprise, the Lunar New Year 2021 celebration held most of the attention. Everyone was looking forward to see who was going to be crowned Mister and Miss Lunar New Year 2021, with Nate being backed as underdog of the year. One unexpected result was betting on who was going to be crowned the winner. In an attempt to get some good out of what would otherwise be a bad habit, a large plastic tank was set up with a divider so people could drop money into, with one side being for Brawn and the other for Nate. At the end, all the money would be donated for relief efforts in Texas.

It wasn't long before the finals were about to begin. Itegami sounded his conch horn to let people know that the events were going to begin, both the spectators and the competitors. Animalia Ambassadoria was using special drones to get a bird's-eye view of the finals, with commentary on the competitors efforts.
