10-19-05, 10:14 PM - Knife/hatchet throwing competitions
- Archery contests
- Cook-offs/Bake-offs
- Beer/Ale/Wine tastings and judging
- Feats and contests of strength (arm wrestling, rock throwing, wrestling)
- Blacksmithing competitions (quickest set of usable horseshoes, fastest usable farming implements, most artistic items/weapons)
- Quilt fairs
- Displays of other crafts, for sale and for competition
- Kissing booth
- if it fits your setting/town/etc., maybe a mock reenactment of a famous battle

That's all I can really think of for now. Hope these help.

Bitte shon! (I think that's right. ;))

I had forgotten about the magical possibilities.

- Illusion competitions
- Mage battles (not to the death though, unless it's "that" kind of fair)
- Random competitions between mages. Stuff like "the award for most inventive new use for Tenser's Floating Disk goes to..."
- magical "fireworks" shows at night (ala Gandalf)
