#32500 Matted-down Grass~ The yellow grass here has been trampled through, most of it smooshed to the ground from passing feet and wagon wheels.

It is not quite as large as the one for the main festival grounds, but it gives a good fight. A stage is set up at the eastern edge of the clearing, constant skits and acts being played out to the delight and wonder of the crowd watching. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32523 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32527 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32521 S #32525 Court~ The stage lies to the southeast from here, where a play is being carried out, watched by a large crowd of people in the area to the south.

The important thing is that they are all drinking great-tasting gypsy ale. So - really - they could be talking about birthing a baby gnat and it wouldn't matter. Its the drink that counts. ~ 325 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32528 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32530 S #32530 A Gypsy Wagon~ This is a very comfortable, brightly colored wagon where the gypsy from the Ale Tent makes his home.

It is painted in bright, garish colors that bring immediate attention to it. Inside of it, puppets dance and cavort to the squeals of delight from the children seated on the ground before the castle. To the east is a small area where caged animals pace in their cages, a place where rare animals can be seen and in some instances - touched. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32540 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32541 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32537 S #32540 Puppet Show~ A miniature castle made of thin wood but cleverly painted to look like stone and mortar has been erected here, a large open window cut into the top section where a puppet master causes his small cloth and wood men to dance, sing, fight and laugh - all amid the uproarious peels of laughter from the children gathered around the castle. ~ 325 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32539 S #32541 Petting Zoo~ Small and large cages lie situated around this area, each one with a very unique and interesting animal. To the north are more of the cages and animals. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32542 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32539 S #32542 Petting Zoo~ Small animals mew in sadness, others growl or even sleep - depending on their wont. The area does not smell all that nice - most every breath is filled with a bit of foul fragrance, but then the beautiful animals make up for that bit of nastiness... Well, mostly anyway. ~ 325 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32541 S #32543 Face Painting~ Children line up one after another to get a scary monster face, a happy clown face or even a silly one painted over their own. One after another, they take turns ooing and awing over a new face turned out by the Painter here. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32538 S #32544 Open Air Restaurant~ There are no walls on this place, only a set of four poles which hold up a thin wooden roofing. A grill with steaming meats and a keg filled with pleasant juices lies at one end of the structure, tended by workers. This would certainly be a relaxing place to sit down, eat and rest a while. ~ 325 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32537 S #32545 Path~ By the looks of the ground, some sort of large wheeled object such as a wagon or a cart has been pushed through. The grass is matted down in two straight, flat lines which head south into the woods. The main festival grounds are just to the east. ~ 325 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32511 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32546 S #32546 Path~ The path heads straight south into the woods, small trees and bushes crunched down or pushed to the side by whatever vehicle came through. The way out back into the main area is to the north. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32545 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32547 S #32547 Path~ It appears that the end of the way is near - quite near indeed. Just to the south is a drab-looking wagon with a crescent moon painted on the right side of the door. No sound comes from within, the drapes are all closed - from the looks of it, the thing may have been abandoned by some gypsy from the festival who decided they didn't want it anymore. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32546 D2 ~ wagon~ 1 0 32548 S #32548 Madame Zayla's Wagon~ Looking about this wagon's small interior room, it is easy to mistake it for an abandoned wagon. Everything in this wagon is very old and rotted, the smell of the place is enough to make most seasoned fair-goers turn tail. And that is saying a lot. A small, round table sits in the center of the room, a glowing ball resting dead center on the table. ~ 325 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 32547 S #32549 Festival Grounds~ This is farthest southwestern corner of the clearing, all of the action lies to the northeast.

Because of the slow going, you are able to hear the reason that others may had reason to travel in the same direction - the sound of running water. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32551 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32553 S #32553 Beaten Trail~ Finding a way through the tangle is quite difficult here, the best way is to try and follow the pushed-aside grasses and the broken twigs and saplings. Looks like you could go one of three directions at this point west, south or north. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32552 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32554 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32576 S #32554 Beaten Trail~ The sound of the running water is much clearer now, it is not the sound of a great amount of water, just the twinkling of a stream. There is a way through the forest to the north, east and south. ~ 325 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32553 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32555 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32574 S #32555 Forest Trail~ The path leads east into a small clearing where people can be seen moving about. Structures of some sort have been erected or placed there as well. The way back to the festival grounds lies to the west. ~ 325 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32556 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32554 S #32556 Forest Trail~ This trail looks almost like it may have been a deer run or something before the gypsies came through. Possibly they parked their many wagons and tents here for just that reason, in hopes of catching a little bit of dinner. The wagons and tents lie to east surrounding a clearing in the woods. ~ 325 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32557 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32555 S #32557 Open Clearing~ Trees ring this small clearing, tents and wagons set up just at the edge of the treeline.

Wide-eyed and completely quiet as they sit enraptured, the children chew their bottom lips, exchange frightened or excited looks - but never leave until the end. ~ 325 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32538 S $~
