    Other legendary efforts you may try include the hammer throw, shot put, sheaf toss, weight-over-bar, tug-of-war and Maide-Leisg.


    If it's heavy, you can throw it.

    Blame not the Bard

    Quartet

    This traditional celtic group could walk out the door, play all the way to the Skunk river, walk in, and the crowd would follow them right in! They are completely captivating, and the ensemble is more fun to listen to than any other group in the region. 


    Forget not to tip thine troubadour!

    An all-ages comedic storytelling show meant to entice & enthrall with elements of magic, whimsy, and danger like all good adventures.

    Traditional Renaissance Rat-Pucking

    FORE !

    Bring a stuffed animal and walking staff to participate. Suggested plushie length 6" & weighted with sand.


    No one wants the dead animals to pile up on their homeside lane. So PUCK IT!
