Local Fairs

Local fairs are like carnivals and circuses are today. All manner of strange and exotic beasts and monsters are paraded before the mystified public. There are games of chance like the dagger toss, dunk the peasant, and chasing a greased pig with prize money tied around its neck. There are competitions for chopping down trees the fastest, catching the biggest fish, baking the best pie, racing horses, ale guzzling, and a variety of sporting events, including tossing horseshoes and medieval versions of soccer and stickball.
